The Willis Baptist Church was formerly Willis United Methodist Church built in 1886. In 1979 they joined with the Lincoln United Methodist Church congregation, making the site at 8906 Meridian available. The Willis Baptist Church purchased the building in October 1979.

Willis Baptist Church opened its doors with fully functioning Sunday School and staff for all services. Pastor Jim McKinnes has been the only Pastor in the 25 years in Willis.

Willis Baptist Church has always been a growing, thriving congregation, however, an expansion was necessary for continued growth. In 2001, Willis Baptist moved into their newly built facility just minutes away. The congregation simply outgrew the facility. The future plans include bringing the education ministry from 8906 Meridian to a new building on the new Willis Baptist campus. It isWillis Baptist's hope that the Lord can continue to use this facility for his glory!
