Pastor Joe Parker Leaving New Heart Worship Center After 30 Years!
I just happend by the New Heart Worship Center in Seattle's website and to my surprise this Sunday is pastor's Joe & Jean Parker's last Sunday there after 30 years.
Joe and Jean (Wilma) started this church as a Home Missions work 30 years ago. After 30 years I figured they were there for life!
The website says that Gordan Banks is becoming the new pastor at New Heart and that Joe is leaving to take the pastorate of The Valley Church in Caldwell, Idaho.
Does anyone know who this Gordan Banks is?
Anybody know anything about the Valley Church in Caldwell, Idaho? I found their website but there is no mention of staff, etc.

I believe Gordon Banks is an ex-Dallas Cowboy, and has been on the ministerial staff at Covenant Church in Carrollton, Texas for several years. I have listened to him on their radio program several times, his is a very good speaker, teacher, preacher.

Here is the Staff Page.
If I'm not mistaken, I think that Pastor Norman Rutzen was instrumental in the formation of the "Global" group.

Norman Rutzen was district superintendent of the Idaho District back in the 1980s.
I believe he is/was C. H. Yadon's son-in-law.
He's no doubt wanting to retire.
CC1, I don't know if you remember his daughter Renae - looks like she's married to the assistant pastor.
She went to JCM with you during the 1978-1979 school year.

Wayne Nigh is also another old "UPC" name from the old PCI heritage.

I pastored the church that Wayne Nigh left, after being there, I understand why he left. He is a good guy, he currently travels between the states and Asia doing short term missions trips.

Joe will be closer to his brother Jesse who pastors a UPC church in eastern OR that runs 200 or so. Large by OR UPC terms. As most know, they are nephews of Ike Terry by the fact that their aunt was his first wife.

I am new to the boards, so excuse me for just jumping in here.
I grew up in Joe Parker's church, before he left the UPC. My dad helped build their building in Federal Way. It's sad to see them leave Wa. Does anyone know if they still hold to the Oneness teaching? I checked out their website, but their statement of faith was just vague enough to make me question what exactly they believe.

I find this very interesting, the last time I saw Joe was at that church, Valley Church was pastored by Norman Rutzen, former DS of the Idaho District who left when the Yadon's pulled out, his wife is a Yadon.
Joe is a great guy and will tell you that if people can stay in the UPC anyway possible, to do it.
The Caldwell church runs about 800 people, just built a new building in 03.
