The CCK Board approved Rev. Dr. Larry Ross in a special zoom call Tuesday, Sept. 21, and unanimously agreed to his call as our Interim Co-Regional Minister.
Larry retired in 2019, after 16 years as Area Minister of the North Texas Area of the Christian Church (DOC) in the Southwest where he worked with as many as 75 churches and (over time) hundreds of ministers. During his service there, the area helped start more than a dozen new churches, and raised significant monies for the Disciples Crossing Camp, where he served on the board.
Larry mentored and participated in the ordination of dozens of ministers, helped design and implement a regionwide Commissioned Minister Training Program, and developed several other innovative programs such as the Area Leader and Learner Event.
Larry also served on the Board of Fowler Christian Communities and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the Southwest. Click here for Larry’s full bio.
Larry will be available to start his work “in person” with the Regional Board meeting at Tawakoni, Saturday, Oct. 30. He and current Regional Minister and Interim Regional President Ken Marston will work in partnership while the search team looks for our next regional minister.
