Christ's Church announces promotion of worship pastor

Michael Plank, formerly the worship minister at Christ's Church at Whitewater, was recently promoted to associate minister.

Plank, 33, joined the staff at Christ's Church (then Kenwood Christian Church) in 1991 for a youth ministry internship under the direction of senior pastor Paul Carrier and youth/associate minister Paul Leslie. He became the full-time youth minister in June 1993 after Paul Leslie accepted the call as senior minister at McDonough Christian Church. He made the transition to his role as worship pastor in the spring of 2002.

In his role as associate minister, Plank will coordinate new member involvement, direct new and current members into ministry opportunities, and organize or restart new ministries and programs within the church. He will continue to oversee the worship and fine arts ministries which include choir, orchestra, drama, dance, and visual arts.

"Michael has many God-given gifts and talents, said senior minister Kenny White. "He is a great worship leader, musician, and recruiter and trainer of people."

Plank is also involved as the lead singer in a Christian worship band called Stained Glass Soul as well as a frequent keyboard/vocalist in the Teen Life Mass Band at St. Gabriel's Catholic Church in Fayetteville.

He received a bachelor's degree in Christian ministries and a music ministries minor from Atlanta Christian College in 1992, and an M.A. theology degree with an emphasis in Christian formation/discipleship and cross-cultural studies from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, Calif. in 1998.
