Pastor Jaimie Willis has been married to his wife Jennifer for 25 wonderful years and they have two adult children, both of whom recently graduated from Oklahoma City University. In 1996, Jaimie went off to live the military life. His wife is a Claremore native, so after 6 years in the U.S. Army, they decided to come back to Claremore and raise their kids. Jaimie's wife, Jennifer, is a successful, goal-oriented business woman who serves as the Regional Sales Manager for Rolled Alloys in Tulsa. They fell in love with Claremore FUMC and joined in 2002.

Jaimie has been in full-time ministry at Claremore FUMC since 2010 and has been a Licensed Local Pastor since 2016. Jaimie's passion is connecting people to a life-giving relationship with Jesus in new and exciting ways.

"Whether you are new to the faith or grew up in church, knowing Jesus and being known by Jesus is a fantastic adventure. One of the things we are seeing at  Vessel Church are people who have been disengaged from their faith become re-ignited and there is a drawing out (so to speak) of luke-warmness. I have been on an incredible adventure of knowing God, and myself for a long time. I am excited about what the Spirit of God is doing at Vessel."
