Grant E-Free Church has extended their staff to welcome new associate pastor, Brett Franklin and his family.
Before coming to Grant, Franklin was a lead pastor in North Lake Tahoe, Nevada. He said he was ready for a change, and started putting feelers out around the country.
Rick Cleaver with Youth Challenge, has long been a mentor and friend to Franklin, and Cleaver told him they might have an opening at E-Free.
Franklin, with wife Shana (pronounced Shawna) had actually interviewed for the same position 7 1/2 years ago, but the timing wasn’t right for the church.
Now they’ve come full circle.
“In a lot of ways it feels like we’re coming home,” Franklin said.
