NOTE: Pastor Lou Dickens has been elected as the Sr Pastor at Silver Lakes Family Fellowship. BUT he is currently still the associate pastor at the Why Church...

Hello, my name is Lou Dickens. God called me first to be a Children’s Pastor and then a Pastor. I was a successful children's pastor for 45 years, but in 2023 God changed my calling from children's pastor to pastor.

Children’s Pastor

Over the years (45 years) I have served as the children's pastor for several different churches (large and small). While in this position I have seen many children come to know the Lord Jesus as their personal savior. As a children's pastor I have worked with all types of children: abused, autistic, ADHD, and any other types you can think of. I can tell you for a fact that I LOVE kids, all kids and I love working with kids. If you want to make my day and put a smile on my face bring your child/children to the Why Church.

Pastor

For 45 years I have been privileged of being a children's pastor. But now it seems that God has a new plan for my life since his is calling me into being a pastor. Today there are so many people that are hurting, and they desperately need to hear that I love them and so does God.
