Before coming to Center United Methodist Church, Pastor Thearon Willis was serving as the pastor at Lemon Springs United Methodist Church in Sanford.
Thearon has a passion for ministry and for reaching out and helping people wherever they are. He has a heart for helping the lost, those with hurting hearts and those struggling in their faith.
When he received his call to pastoral ministry, Thearon was actively serving in multiple ministries in the church that helped people both inside and outside the church. Some of those ministries include serving as a leader in the DivorceCare ministry, Financial Peace University coordinator, and a small group leader.
He loves working with his hands, in carpentry and gardening. He also loves to teach and preach the Word of God. Thearon ended a 40 year career as a Software Engineer to enter pastoral ministry as a second career and is enjoying every minute of it.
Thearon and his wife, Wendy, live in Fuquay Varina and serve others wherever they can.
