Dear Church Family.
After much prayer and careful consideration, my wife and I have come to the decision that our time serving at Christ Community Church has concluded. Effective immediately, we are stepping down from all of our roles and responsibilities.
When we stepped into this assignment, the church was in a season of clear need. It has been a meaningful responsibility to help address both pastoral and administrative challenges, including stabilizing operations, working through financial and tax matters, and reestablishing the church’s 501(c)(3) status. We are grateful for the opportunity to have served during that critical time.
At this point, however, we believe it is right for us to step away. While this decision has not been made lightly, we are confident that it is the appropriate one for this season.
We leave with appreciation for those we have served alongside and for the ways we have seen God’s faithfulness in the life of the church. We will continue to pray for Christ Community Church—that it would walk in unity, wisdom, and health in the days ahead.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve.
Sincerely,
Virgil and Cheryl Franklin
