The Mountain View Conference (MVC) elected Mike Hewitt as president at their Executive Committee meeting today.

Hewitt has served in MVC for a year as executive secretary and ministerial director. Larry Boggess, former MVC president, recently retired.

“He loves soul-winning and people, and he can identify with many of our pastors who have come from a different profession than pastoring,” said Boggess of Hewitt.

Hewitt previously served as pastor of Potomac Conference’s Lynchburg (Va.) church.  He and spent 11-and-a-half years as a pastor in the Potomac Conference, and worked as a police officer for 10 years.
