Charles and Cherie Walker honored by McMinnville First Baptist Church in December 2023
“Walker Hall” is the new name of what has been the “Gathering Room” of McMinnville First Baptist Church.
On Sun., Dec. 10, 2023, church members Charles and Cherie Walker were surprised when a “Walker Hall” sign was unveiled before them and other church members gathered in the room.
Les Toth, church member, said the new name recognizes the Walkers’ leadership, contributions, passion and support.
“We are blessed” to have Charles and Cherie as members and great leaders of the church family. The new name assures the “Walkers’ legacy will always be remembered,” he said.
The Walkers came to McMinnville when Charles became Linfield College president. He served 1975-1992. In 1992 a building on the campus of Linfield, now called Linfield University, was named “Walker Hall.”
