Springs of Grace Has A New Pastor

June 20, 2007

At their Special Congregational meeting on May 20, the Congregation of Springs of Grace Lutheran Church, ELCA, voted to call Judson Frick Merrell as their First Called Pastor. Merrell has recently accepted the call and is eager to begin serving.

Pastor Judson MerrellPastor Judson received a BS degree in Computer Science from UNC-Charlotte in 2003 and received his Master of Divinity degree last month from the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary.  He is a life-long Lutheran from Salisbury, NC and has been involved church choirs, Lutheran Men in Mission, LMM Young Men’s Council, the Boy Scouts of America (he is an Eagle Scout), Habitat for Humanity, and various campus ministers and projects.  He served his internship at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Summerville, SC where he gained valuable experience in many areas of ministry.  He and his wife Carrie, a registered nurse, will be moving from their home in the Columbia area to Boiling Springs.  Pastor Judson will lead the worship service on July 1st and will be officially installed at a special service on August 5th.

Congregational Council Vice President and Call Committee Chair Gail Hackett comments, “"We are extremely blessed to have Judson and Carrie become part of our church family, and we look forward to Growing God's Mission together in the Boiling Springs community."

Springs of Grace is an established congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  Worship in the Boiling Springs area began in 1999 and the congregation was formally organized in March 2001.  Members presently enjoy a temporary home at 7420 Highway 9 (near the intersection of SC-292) in Inman and holds clear title to an attractive 12 acre parcel also on Highway 9.
