2012 – 2013 Appointments
The SPRC is pleased to announce the 2012 – 2013 appointments of Tracie Rose, Jonathan Coppedge-Henley and Elizabeth Coppedge-Henley to First UMC, Charlotte.
Rev. Rose will be serving here 1/4 time and we are thrilled to be able to compensate her for her service. Prior to this Rev. Rose has been compensated with the coverage on education, travel and annual conference expenses. Her primary focus will be congregational care.
Rev. Jonathan Coppedge-Henley is appointed here at a 3/4 capacity. This came as a request of the Coppedge-Henley’s in order to accommodate church budget needs. His job will be membership growth and development.
Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Coppedge-Henley is appointed here full-time as Senior Pastor. She will continue to focus on administration, teaching and, with our other pastors, worship leadership.
The appointments will be fixed at the 2012 Annual Conference.
First UMC staff continues to covet your prayers, your presence, your gifts, and your service.
