One of the three new cabinet members announced recently by Bishop Mike Watson of the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church is currently the senior pastor of the Peachtree City United Methodist Church. The Rev. Herzen Andone has been appointed to the cabinet and has also been promoted to become the district superintendent of the Northwest District of the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church.
The new cabinet appointment will become effective July 1. Andone will serve over 75 charges and 85 churches in this district.
Andone says he will emphasize the importance of strengthening the bond between clergy and laity in fulfilling the mission of the church with this new appointment.
“It is a beautiful thing when we can put aside any differences we have and work together,” Andone said. “It can be a powerful witness to the world when we are unified in service. I think one of our most important missions is to have our eyes and ears on the laity and see how we can raise up leaders for the next generation. It is the call of the church.”
Andone has served for the last three years as the senior pastor of Peachtree City UMC. His last Sunday to appear in worship at PTCUMC will be June 5.
A reception will be held following the morning worship service to honor him and his family for their time of service at the church.
