Hassel Wallis
Minister Profile
From the Biographical History of Primitive or Old School Baptist Ministers, Vol.II, By David Montgomery and Mark Green:
Elder Wallis was born on October 27, 1918. His wife, Getrude, bore him two sons, James K. Wallis and Gerald Wallis. He united with Pine Hill Church and was baptized on July 12, 1953. He was ordained by that same church on March 9, 1957, Elder R.J. Townsend officiating. Elder Wallis was raised in Ripley, Mississippi.
Elder Wallis writes: As I felt God’s Spirit leading me into the ministry, it was indeed a way that I did not choose, nor did I hasten to reveal the calling to others. I was never uncertain about God’s plan for me then, and forty years later, I am sure I understood God’s message to me. My calling was to pastor His Assemblies; therefore, I spent most of my years in North Mississippi. I did pastor for seven years in Memphis, Tennessee. I did visit the Lord’s Assemblies in Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, and Arkansas.
Elder Hassell Wallis departed this life on March 9, 2002, at the age of 83.
