Rev. Maxwell L. Tindall is currently serving as the part-time Pastor of the Waples United Methodist Church congregation. Maxwell is a candidate for ordination as an Elder in the Horizon Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church and is currently pursuing his Master of Divinity at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University.
Before answering his call to pastoral ministry, Maxwell served as the Music Minister at First United Methodist Church of Hico for three years. He brings a deep love for preaching—especially connecting the truths of the Old Testament to the challenges and questions of modern life. A lifelong musician, Maxwell enjoys singing, playing the piano and bass guitar, and occasionally dusting off his skills as an audio-video tech and computer builder.
Maxwell is married to his beloved wife, Emily Tindall, a devoted follower of Christ whose own ministry is expressed through her work as a nurse. Together, they share a passion for serving others and living out their faith with compassion and creativity.
