to Salt Lake City
By Thomas C. Hanson
PASADENA--Gerald and Connie Schnarrenberger moved to the Salt Lake City, Utah, area in August to become regional pastor of a new Salt Lake City region.
Mr. Schnarrenberger will continue the duties he performed as a Church Administration staff member in Pasadena: assisting with hiring and transferring U.S. ministers; supervising the nonsalaried pastors program; writing and editing the ministerial manual; and giving assistance to other regional pastors and field pastors.
In Salt Lake City, Mr. Schnarrenberger will mentor and teach the 23 pastors in the region. He plans to visit church congregations two or three times a month and conduct training seminars and miniconferences.
The new Salt Lake City region was carved out of the vast expanse of the western United States.
"The area is so broad that it overtaxed other regional pastors," Mr. Schnarrenberger said. "We now have more manageable areas to supervise."
The Schnarrenbergers will return to Pasadena periodically for regional pastors, new pastors and planning conferences.
Mr. Schnarrenberger is the second Church Administration staff member to add regional pastor duties. Carn Catherwood, another staff member, supervises the Memphis, Tennessee, region.
