Back about fifteen years ago Rod Parsley hired Jeff Switzer, an exUPCer, as his new music guy.

At the time Jeff was the music director at the World of Pentecost Church in Austin, TX.

Just before he was to move and take the job Jeff backed out. His dad was a UPC Pastor who was very upset at the prospect. That and other pressure caused Jeff to back out and stay at WOP but things were never the same once it was clear he was willing to leave and he ended up leaving anyway not too long later.

I also think he'll have trouble working for RP. He just doesn't seem like he would be the most pleasant guy to work for or with. (Parsley, I mean)

He'll make big bucks, but I think he'll also have to work mega hard as well.

I think he was there after Clint Brown. I watched the program several times while Doug was there and he did an awesome job! Behind the scenes, the pressure and time commitments were taking a toll on his health and marriage.

You are correct. RP has a reputation as being hard to work for. Supposedly he works his people to death also.

I don't know if she is still there but I know for a long time there was a UPC lady from the area on his school staff at his Bible College.

A Vacation? hahahahahaha

I really like and appreciate MC's music.

However it is NOT shockamoo music!!

This is really perplexing.

I could see MC fitting in at Christ Church, but not a World Harvest!

Well, then I guess that makes 4! Jeff Switzer I had heard of but I didn't know he was at WH.

I agree. Unless RP is taking his church in a different direction. Don't think there is much chance of that happening.

That man needs to change his last name!
