Paul Williams gave vital leadership to Orchard Group for decades, including serving as President from 1989 until 2009. At that time, Brent Storms assumed the role of President and began providing both visionary and operational leadership. Paul continued to serve as Chairman of the Board, representing Orchard Group in a variety of ways.
On December 31, 2013, Paul retired quietly from Orchard Group. Although we coordinated significant celebrations for Paul’s 25th and 30th anniversaries, we want to acknowledge, once more, his enormous investment in church planting and his impact on Orchard Group. The Orchard Group board, staff and extended church planting family wish Paul and Catherine God’s best as they step into the future.
The Board has appointed Eddie Lowen as the new volunteer Chairman. Eddie is the lead minister at West Side Christian Church in Springfield, IL and has been a member of the Orchard Group Board for nearly a decade. |
