Christ the King Installs Associate Pastor Lynch

Memphis, TN

On Sunday, June 30, Reverend Matthew Stuart Lynch was installed as an Associate Pastor at Christ the King Lutheran Church Memphis. Pastor Lynch, a recent graduate of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, was ordained the week earlier at his home church of Our Savior Lutheran in Nashville. Pastor Matt joins Senior Pastor Chuck Neugebauer and Associate Pastor Mark Goble in providing spiritual leadership at CTK. Pastors from around the Circuit joined in the installation rite to offer God’s blessings to Pastor Matt’s ministry to and for the members of Christ the King and the community. The service was followed by a reception in honor of Pastor Matt in the Fellowship Hall. The members and staff of Christ the King look forward to working hand-in-hand with Pastor Lynch to further God’s kingdom.
