He is the youngest pastor to be installed at 26 years old and is now the shortest term pastor in Mt. Salem's 109 year history.
On Saturday, Mt. Salem voted him out for attending a local Rick Ross concert.
With
a vote of 11 to 3, the 14 deacons met at 11pm Saturday night to discuss
and come to a conclusion that they did not need his services anymore.
Rev. Wills arrived to the church the next day for Sunday morning worship
service and notice his parking sign taken down and his name removed
from the office door.
The deacons even asked another minister from
the community to officiate the service that morning. "We cannot have our
leader supporting people of this world who are tearing down the kingdom
of God." said Deacon Miles Langley.
According to Deacon Langley,
this is not the first time Rev. Wills has attended a concert while
pastoring Mt. Salem. 9 months ago the diaconate board met with Rev.
Wills when word was given to them that many youth and young adults
spotted the pastor at a Lil Wayne concert.
"We know that many saints
will have mixed opinions from our actions, but this is not how we do
things here at Mt. Salem. We cannot have a pastor praising the world one
minute then praising the Lord the next. Period" said Deacon Langley.
Rick
Ross recently made nationwide news when he was dropped from Reebok and
other endorsements for lyrics advocating molestation towards women. "Put
Molly all in her Champagne/ She ain't even know it/ I took her home and
I enjoyed that/ She ain't even know it," he raps on the track.
