Announcing Kyle Kockler as Interim Pastor

Yesterday, the session of elders announced that Kyle Kockler is serving as our interim pastor. I am personally excited to work with Kyle and look forward to getting to know him and his wife, Ginny. Please join us in welcoming them to CCC. Here is the announcement from the elders:

CCC Family,

We are excited to report that the Lord has provided once again for Christ Community.  Kyle Kockler has been called and accepted our offer to be our Interim Pastor.  Kyle has 12 years of experience as an ordained PCA Teaching Elder, including twice being the interim pastor at churches searching for a new senior pastor.  It is clear to the elders that God has provided Kyle in our time of need and that Kyles experience will be of great benefit to CCC.

Kyle will be on staff with us on a half-time basis and his duties will include some  preaching as well as assisting with many CCC ministries.  Kyle will be working closely with the elders and current leaders to determine how he can best be an encouragement and help in this time of transition for our church.  He started working on September 1^st and has already participated in a session meeting and has met with some of our staff.  Over the next few weeks he will mostly be working to better understand CCC and our ministries .

Kyle and his wife Ginny are coming to us from Faith Presbyterian, our sister PCA church in Gainesville.  Kyle will not only be on staff, he and Ginny will also be joining our fellowship so please make sure we welcome them well to CCC.  Kyle and Ginny already had prior commitments for the last 3 Sundays in September before accepting this position so we won’t see them on Sundays for most of September, but he will be meeting with leaders and staff during the week.  We look forward to having them with us regularly on Sundays beginning October 1^st.

Please join the elders in reaching out to Kyle and Ginny and welcoming them to our church family.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow,

Your Session
