Pastor Willie Addison Jr., a native of Jacksonville, Florida, has been a Christian minister for nearly 30 years. He has pastored at Christ Church InTown in various capacities from 2017 -2024.
Pastor Addison, who came to faith at a young age, assumed his first pastorship in 1994. While living in South Florida, Pastor Addison worked full time as a law enforcement officer. Although he enjoyed serving and protecting his community, he soon realized Christian ministry was his ultimate calling.
This is fitting for someone who literally grew up in the church and delivered his first sermon at age 23.
Pastor Addison loves traveling and learning about various cultures and seeks to make multiculturalism an integral part of his approach to ministry. He is passionate about church leadership and has a natural disposition for community building.
Pastor Addison holds two master’s degrees – a Master of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix. He earned his bachelor’s degree in professional studies from Barry University.
He and his wife, Sonya, have been married for nearly 34 years. They have two adult sons, a “daughter-in-love” and two grandchildren.
