years at Mt. Salem Baptist Church when the
unusual happened. Reported by

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.
