GCI-USA pastoral intern Jason Frantz, his wife Julie and their children are moving from Ohio to start a new pastoral assignment in Kansas City, Missouri. Jason will be serving as an associate pastor being mentored by Ray Meyer who is a district pastor and senior pastor of the GCI church in Kansas City. The plan is for Jason to replace Ray as senior pastor when Ray retires in 2013.
Recently Jason and Julie were given a good-bye party by Christ Fellowship Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, where Jason interned for about two years with district and senior pastor Rick Shallenberger. Jason and Julie thanked the congregation for their love and support during their training. Then all present joined Pastor Rick in commissioning the couple for their new responsibility.
Rick pointed out that this was a significant moment, because it showed how effective the pastoral intern program could be. He said. “Jason and Julie are a living testimony that the intern program works. We were privileged as a congregation to help launch their career in pastoral ministry.”
Christ Fellowship Church’s launch pad is now empty, and the congregation is ready to help another intern – any takers? If so, email Greg Williams at Greg.Williams@gci.org.
