The new pastor at Shepherd of Peace, Powell, Ohio, was was installed by his father-in-law, Steve Witte, a founder of Church and Change.
Church and Change began in Fox Valley, home of Thrivent Insurance (formerly AAL).
Jenswold, the former pastor of Shepherd of Peace, just took a call in Fox Valley.
Fox Valley Leaders
DMin John Parlow, Denver Babtist Seminary.
DMin Steve Witte, Gordon Conwell Babtist Seminary. In a fierce disciplinary action, WELS promoted this founder of Church and Change to a full-time position on the WELS Asian board for world missions. Harsh? You betcha. Now he is president of the Asian seminary, installed by Church and Changer John Lawrenz.
DMin Paul Calvin Kelm, Concordia Church Growth BM Program, St. Louis. Not to be outdone by the Witte persecution, WELS gave Kelm two calls at the same time so he could choose which one he wanted. Brutal.
Ski and Glende
These two WELS pastors have set a record in attending anti-Lutheran conferences, with Tweets leaking out about Drive conferences (Andy Stanley - Babtist), Mars Hill (Mark Driscoll), Catalyst (Stanley and Craig Groeschel), and Granger Community Church.
