superintendents

By Thomas C. Hanson

PASADENA--The church named three new district superintendents during the Feb. 22 to 26 ministerial conference.

They are Randy Bloom, Memphis, Tennessee; Robert Taylor, Nashville, Tennessee; and Ted Johnston, Akron, Ohio.

Carn Catherwood, former district superintendent of the Memphis region, will now be district superintendent of the Big Sandy region. Mr. Catherwood lives in Big Sandy.

Don Mears, former Big Sandy district superintendent, will continue to pastor the Big Sandy and Tyler, Texas, churches.

The addition of three district superintendents will mean that "we can better serve our pastors and members and ease the workload of the district superintendents," said Dan Rogers, superintendent of ministers.

In other conference news, the ministers and wives heard from Paul R. Ford, who specializes in lay mobilization, leadership training and team building. The women also heard from Pat Clary, founder of Women's Ministries Institute in Pasadena, who spoke about fanning the flames within you.
