Photos by Chris Hostetler The Lewis Weber Gishler Memorial Scholarship has been awarded since 1987 when family, friends and parishioners created this scholarship to further expand Dr. Gishler’s commitment to education and excellence. The Rev. Dr. Gishler was Senior Pastor of First Pres from 1942 until his retirement in 1972. Always a strong supporter of higher education, the congregation built our present church next to the Ball State University campus during Dr. Gishler’s ministry. He and his wife Rosemary have ministered to countless college students and members of First Pres and the Muncie community.
