New Pastor at Franklin Grove

The two votes to call Matt Rittle as pastor and to approve the negotiated financial package votes were unanimous. The candidate responded positively and was warmly welcomed by the congregation as their new pastor.

As worship, the meeting, and the fellowship meal progressed, there was a sense a warm affection between Matt and the members of the congregation— that’s the main reason that it was a joy to be there! Another was the optimism several members expressed about the future with Matt as their pastor.
