William H. Curtis accepted the call to ministry at the age of 17. For seven years, he served as the Senior Pastor at Shiloh Baptist Church in York, PA. However, since 1997, he has served as the Senior Pastor at Mount Ararat Baptist Church in Pittsburgh, PA. Mount Ararat Baptist Church is a large, urban ministry that ministers to more than 10,000 members of the community, providing four, well-attended weekend services. Mount Ararat believes in ministry to the whole community, and under the leadership of Dr. Curtis, the church implemented a Community Tithe Program, which returns over ten percent of the congregation’s weekly offerings to small churches, para-church ministries and non-profit organizations.
