Pastor Ron Tiller
 

Pastor Tiller was pastoring in Reynoldsburg, OH (Columbus area) and is a great man of God. He took a troubled church and turned it around, and it is now a great revival church. (My mother attended this church for the last 5-6 years until her death this past February. Pastor Tiller and the church family took great care of my mother, and I am very thankful for their compassion and faithfulness.)

My Question is, someone called me and informed me that he had just resigned his church and has left. Just wondering if anyone knows where he is headed to, and/or if he has already accepted a church elsewhere.

He has resigned. I was going to visit with him one Wednesday night that I didn't have anywhere schedulded to be at. I called him that afternoon and spoke to him trying to get directions from the part of Columbus I was at to exactly where he was. He asked that I not visit that night because he was going to resign. I hear through the grapevine that he at the last minute decided to to stay until that following weekend.

I am not positive where he went. I hear he has went to his FIL's church in KY.

Is this the church that Thompson Pastored ????

No he had a church on the south side of the city. He had been there for a few years.

how's the church that Thompson pastored doing ???

I honestly can't say. I have heard from one source that Bro. Paul Cook at Turnpoint in Groveport, OH was trying to oversee it. Maybe someone from Ohio can verify either way.

he went to KY. his wifes family is from there.

I had heard that recently while preaching around Ohio. I had not heard that from him so couldn't say my information was 100% accurate.

mine is 100% accurate! :santathumb

Is he going to pastor Bro. Puckett's church? (his FIL)

It is doing well. I am helping them somewhat.

I had heard that the church was "asking" for RT's resignation.

Ain't happenin! :D

Any word on why he left?

yes

Mrs. MOW & I met them on our Hawaii cruise this year. Wasn't hard to tell they were UPC. (hope we didn't ruin their time) :D

MOW, Do I know you?

Don't know. You can check out my profile and see. :D

Agreed! (bold section) and Thank you Steadfast for your input, I had forgotten that you and Pastor Tiller were close friends.

I just heard that he had resigned and left and it caught me off guard, and I figured someone here could verify if it was indeed true, and where he may have went.

I was able to casually get to know brother Tiller at their camp meeting. He seemed to be a man of hi character and principle. I also got to know a few people in his church. They had much love and respect for he and his wife.

I was surprised to hear that he resigned, they were having revival, the church was doing great under his ministry.

Thanks for clearing the air! At least you shared the "pulpit" side of the story. There is always a "pew" side as well. How do I know? Because I've experienced it myself.

It's very difficult to be an Ultra-Con in Columbus, OH! :D

Nothing like the pull of family to move one along. It seems to be a common occurance. I wish him well. It will be difficult for that church to replace him.

I never understood why the need for a plethora of upci churches in that area since most of them are mediocre at best. I can think of 2 to 3 churches in that area that are experiencing church growth without the relocating of disgruntled saints.

It's ironic that Rod Parsley's church is less than 15 minutes from Tiller's former church in one direction amd less than 15 minutes from Cook's church in another direction. Even with great pillars of truth in that area, about a dozen of Parsley's Bible college students travel two hours south to attend our church. Makes me wonder who is dropping the ball in central Ohio and why....

Everyone's replaceable. It simply depends upon what they are looking for and really need. :D

Were you a ultra-con at one time?

No, actually, I was a "caustic" ultra-con! :D

What about Bro Keith M., the guy they just elected about a few months ago..... is he leaving already? Or is Bro Tiller Just joining the staff? (i'm only 40 min north of Carrollton and I still hear nothing of whats going on lol)

BTW Bro Steadfast, you are missed on some other places if noone else has passed the word on to you yet....

I know the answer, but I ain't saying. Let's see if anyone else knows what is happening in C-Town.

Bro Flemming, how's TN treating ya.....


odd their (Carrollton) website still has KM listed as Pastor and no staff team other than RB.....but the UPCI site has the Bishop (E.D. P) listed as pastor..... :confused:

hmm :feedback


TRP
:boomm

Yes, it is odd. Considering what I know, very odd indeed.

I have just recently, accidently come across this website. I attend G.A. where Bro. Tiller pastored for nearly 10 years. I do not know all the details about his departure, any last minute decisions to stay or why he and E.D.P. have resigned their UPC license. I will say the as Pastor, Bro. Tiller was an incredible man of God and he is missed. I may have done things differently, but the fact is, he chose to leave. God has someone for our church and I thank any of you that pray for God's Will in Reynoldsburg.

Ok HERE IT IS! E.D.P. took a group and split from K.M.'s church. Even though E.D.P. is getting a retirement from the church he has started another one across town. R.T. has gone back to his hometown to take the split. He turned in his UPC lic.
THERE IT IS!
