Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Talked to a former TPC staff member yesterday who said they have narrowed down the selection process to three names. Don't know who the three are, but one is coming in tomorrow to preach. A former missionary and a current pastor from Corpus Christi. So CC1 you can breathe a sigh of relief.

Thought I would see who today's candidate is but when you click on their live webcast for today it has a banner across the bottom saying "there will be no broadcast today March 3, 2013". I wonder what is so top secret about a potential pastor's sermon today? Perhaps he plans on addressing specifics of their situation rather than just preaching a stand alone sermon. In that case I can understand the discretion.
According to the UPCI website the current Corpus Christi pastors are;
Russell D. Campbell
Rod Carpenter
John Everett

Made me curious enough to look at last weeks service to try to see if the was announced….
City is Bay City not Corpus
Potential Pastor preaching today and tomorrow night: Kevin Blake, former missionary and current Pastor of Apostolic Pentecostal Church of Bay City Texas. Only been there 2 1/2 years.
I thought I'd pass this on before any rumors started circulating about any of those Corpus Christi pastors...

I have seen so many lies posted. The best one is the one Triumphant 1 did his best to combat. You know, the hair cutting party thing?
Prominent members of this board chose to believe the lie and even continue to spread it, even though T1 had totally proved it was false.

Thanks Triumphant!
There was a time when I knew of all of the up and coming pastors in the UPC but now I have no clue who many of these guys are including Pastor Kevin Blake. I have never heard of him.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Here is a link to Pastor Blake's current church's website and in particular the page about him. He has an extensive history of both pastoring and in missions work.
If TPC is looking for a homebody who doesn't get around much this may not be the guy! Looks like he has been very mobile and active during his ministry and is very missions / world minded.
He is right around my age so I am surprised I do not recognize the name.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Well the IMPORTANT thing is that they are getting close to choosing a new pastor. I wish them the best with whoever gets the position.
Then, it will take some time to get to know that person also. He will probably have things out of the congregation he expects and they will have some of him. It is pretty much a two way street.
I do not think it is an easy thing going into any church and trying to take over a pastor ship. I know that I would not want to try out for that job! I am happy doing what I am doing, just being a Holy Ghost filled christian! And even that has it's problems, but nothing like a pastor has! When a pastor has a "bad day" you can pretty much say it was a "bad day"! LOL!

What EXACTLY is your PROBLEM?
Why don't YOU leave this topic if you don't like it!???
Always some person that thinks they can tell other people what to do.
I can't believe that came out of your mouth.
