Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
 

Looks like a prominent Memphis, TN area UPC pastor has unexpectedly suddenly resigned after 20 years.

I was told that on Sunday visitors were asked to leave, told that they were not having service and at that point the pastor came out and announced his resignation.

While this church is not a "mega church" it is a fairly large one (around 800 members according to their website) and has been stable for years so I am sure they will have no problem finding a new pastor.

Will be interesting to see where the resigning pastor goes.

who was the pastor?

Terry Black.

Wow.

If I was a visitor who came to church looking for Christ there and was asked to leave, I would have all sorts of thoughts going through my head.

Too bad the leadership there was not more pulled together to call an emergency business meeting on a weekday when visitors were not involved.

I am shocked! You are right there. No excuse. I will be on the road the next hour or so. If you get a chance call me.

So sad! I'm thinking there's a lot of preachers that need to be in the alter w/the rest of us!
