Church Swap

​I think this is the first time in history that something like this has happened. A father and his son switching churches...

There are times when a son takes over his dad’s church. There probably has been times when a dad takes over his son’s church. But for both father and son to switch churches at the same time? I’m sure that has never happened before in any denomination. I pastored Yonkers Church and Bedford Park church for over 8 years. My dad has pastored Morris Park church for over 11 years. Both our times at our respective churches have now come to an end and we are switching places. My dad is taking over my previous churches of Yonkers Church and Bedford Park Church. And I’m taking over his previous church of Morris Park.
​
When the conference mailed letters to the church leaders of who their new pastor was, they were thoroughly confused, because we both have the same official first and last name, “Billwayne Jamel”. So each respective leader came to their pastor and were like ‘why is the conference telling us that you are our pastor starting in November.’ Their minds were so thrown off. So of course we had to do a bit of explaining. LOL at least they don’t have to worry about changing the names on things.

This poses a benefit, because we each get to see our churches led by someone that we know and so we each can give our input and advice.
