After some insightful questions, he said something like ‘Let’s talk about how we can help you.” That meeting began a friendship of nearly 20 years, including four 3-year terms on a couple of Church Extension organization boards. We worked through several big challenges together and in particular I came to greatly respect Rick’s focus on doing not only what is best for congregations, but also what is good stewardship for those who have contributed and invested money in Church Extension. His lifetime professional commitment to this Disciples ministry says everything you need to know about his priorities. Enjoy retirement, Rick!

Rick our founders would, no doubt, be proud to call you one of their own, as are we at Bethany. Many blessings and joys in your retirement.
With profound thanks and appreciation,
