As of December 31, 2022 Pastor Kris Eckenroth will be stepping away from the Associate Senior Pastor position at the Collegedale Church to pursue other ministry opportunities, which includes intentionally going after the thousands of former Adventists in our local area. To try to accomplish that he will be producing a Friday night vespers, outreach opportunities, small groups, etc. while working with both Retro Ministries and SafeTV.  

Pastor Kris has so greatly appreciated the opportunity given by Pastor Dave Ferguson, the Church staff, and incredible church body.  

He will be continuing to oversee Connect at least until May at which time the church and Pastor Kris can decide what is best as his position is filled by someone new.

We appreciate Pastor Kris’ ministry while here and support him in his new endeavor and are happy he will still be in the area.
