Will Mack, while a native New Yorker, has the redeeming value of being a life long Presbyterian. He graduated from Georgia Tech and has worked in a variety of large corporations and has started 6 businesses during his career, including a Product Development Consulting firm that he ran for 18 years prior to its sale. Will joined Peachtree as a member 18 years ago, and has served twice as an elder, as well as having served on and chaired a virtual bevy of committees. In November 2004 he joined the staff of Peachtree as the Executive Director of Operations where his responsibilities include the care and running of the facility, grounds, equipment, in addition to hospitality, master planning, Peachtree Express, technology, security and construction.

Will has two wonderful daughters, Melissa and Lori. Melissa graduated from Presbyterian College last year and is an accomplished vocalist. Lori is attending Furman University where she is majoring in Psychology. He is proud that having them grow up in the Peachtree Youth groups and choirs has had such a positive influence on their lives. Will is a private pilot and avid Racquetball player.

I have been formally working in the ministry for the last eight years. I have interned for a small Baptist church in Southern California, worked as a counselor for one summer at Hume Lake Christian Camps, and worked on staff at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in the Student Ministries department. Here at Peachtree, my ministry has been focused on leading and developing staff, planning trips, speaking, and implementing vision within the ministry. What I enjoy doing most is sitting down with a couple of students at a coffee shop and discussing the issues pertaining to their lives. Building relationships and creating community are a central part of my ministry philosophy, because they are central to the faith development of students.

Jan Williamson, Director of Preschool Ministry, grew up in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and graduated from Winthrop University and the University of Washington. She worked as a hospital teacher at the University of Virginia Children’s Medical Center for thirteen years before joining the staff of Peachtree in 2000. Jan’s passion is supporting leaders and parents as they nurture children in faith. Her greatest joy in ministry is hearing our little ones claim for themselves, “Jesus loves me.” Drawing on her background working with families of children with special needs and with the families of children who are hospitalized, Jan also coordinates our special needs ministry and serves as the staff support for our Families with Children Pastoral Care Team.

Jan enjoys reading, baking, following college sports, time at the beach, and being with family, including her niece and nephew who live nearby.
