Interim Pastor - UPDATE
After weeks of interviews and meetings, our Interim Pastor search team (members of this team include Martin Chumley, Brenda Searles, Joel Bell, Wes Shaffer and Adam Henderson) have agreed that Jon Willhite is the best candidate to bring before the church for consideration and affirmation.
Here is a quick bio of Jon and his ministry experience...
Jon Willhite, a passionate church planter, moved to Wellington, Colorado in January 2019 with his wife Tiffany and their children, following a commissioning by Calvary Inola. Drawing from his experience in launching a successful small business, Willhite recognized that both entrepreneurship and church planting are rooted in building authentic relationships. By September 2019, he began hosting small group gatherings in his home, which laid the foundation for StoneBridge Church. The church officially launched public weekly gatherings on January 17, 2021, and has since grown to include four groups meeting in four homes. Willhite emphasizes the importance of three core relationships—our connection with Christ, with fellow believers, and with the world—anchored in John 15:5. His vision was further shaped by a pivotal training hosted by Hope Church in Las Vegas, which aligned perfectly with the mission God had placed on his heart. Today, StoneBridge is part of a growing network of church plants across the western U.S., supported in part by the generous giving of Oklahoma Baptists through the Cooperative Program.

We are excited to bring such an excellent candidate, pastor and brother home to serve and lead for such a time as this. Jon will be preaching the next 2 Sundays (August 24th and 31st) in view of a call as our interim pastor here at Calvary. Come listen, be encouraged and get to know him more. At the conclusion of service on August 31st, we will hold a special called business meeting for the purpose to vote on Jon as our interim pastor.
