Ministry Staff
Shawn Nichols, Pastor
Shawn became pastor of Wilmont Place Baptist Church in August 2017. He graduated in 1993 with a Bachelor of Business Administration from Baylor University and later obtained his Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary where he is also currently working on his PhD in preaching. Shawn and Tina married in 1993 and they have three children. Shawn is passionate about text-driven preaching, preaching that guides us through the structure, substance, and spirit of the text. Coupled with church-wide discipleship and intentional community evangelism, Shawn believes these ingredients form the foundation of a healthy church. We put this into practice in what we call The Journey. |
Jacob French, Music and Youth Pastor
Jacob grew up in Moore, Oklahoma, and came to know Christ at a young age. His involvement in worship ministry began as a freshman in high school with Wilmont's youth group. Later in high school, Jacob surrendered to God's calling on his life, where he feels called to worship ministry. He obtained his degree at Mid-America Christian University, pursuing Business Administration with Christian Ministries. Jacob has served at Wilmont as Music Intern, Ministry Intern, and is now serving as our Music and Youth Pastor. Jacob's wife, Lauryn, also serves in our Youth department and on the Worship Team. |
Monica Carbajal, Ministry Director to Families with Children
Monica became our Ministry Director to Families with Children in 2019. She and her husband, Ben, have three children and live in Oklahoma City. Monica, a pastor's daughter, has served in many areas and shares our vision of superior ministry to families and children. Monica and her teams teach children, but they also work to teach families how to disciple children at home. She believes that while parents are primarily responsible for a child's spiritual growth, a family's partnership with a church equips and encourages. |
