On Sunday, May 31, we held an official Pastoral Succession Ceremony as part of our annual Celebration Sunday. We spent time looking back through the decades since Elmer & Ileen Miller began pastoring at UDC in 1985. Time and time again, we saw evidence that God has been faithful through the journey of ups and downs! Frank & Erica were given the charge to be warriors, on the offensive and going after the good, but also on the defensive and protecting from the bad. The Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, provides discernment, advances redemption, and defends truth as it is "sharper than a two-edged sword." We are so grateful that Frank and Erica Slabaugh have said yes to the call of Lead Pastor at UDC! As the congregation said together, "We are willing to support you both in prayer, to be open to receive and give counsel, and walk together in brotherly love on behalf of the church and for God's glory."
A Retirement Open House will be held in honor of Elmer & Ileen at UDC on Sunday, June 14, 2026 from 4-6pm. All are welcome!
