Honoring Pastor Curt
During our October 10 services, we honored our Lead Pastor Curt Drexler on his final Sunday before retiring from staff. It was an honor to celebrate his leadership, which started in 1988 — and was hallmarked by integrity, faithfulness and a shepherd’s heart. He and Marian have blessed so many people in more than three decades serving our church family. It was an incredible time remembering and worshiping God for all He has done through Pastor Curt’s life and ministry.
We invite you to watch this recap of his ministry, and the profound impact he’s had on the life of Christ The Rock, and on so many individual lives:

Earlier in the week, the CTR staff had a fun surprise for Pastor Curt before his retirement. After cheering him down the back road to the church, there was a ceremonial unveiling: the road is now officially named Drexler Drive in his honor! Staff shared words of thanks and blessing, and had a time of prayer under the gorgeous blue sky.
In this new phase of life and ministry, Pastor Curt plans to continue pursuing two of his passions. He will keep volunteering with Catch A Dream, which offers hunting expeditions for terminally ill children, and shares the hope of Jesus with them. And he will continue another passion: designing and creating custom log and wood furnishings. If you’d like to know what he’s building, you can see his latest work at Dry Creek Custom Log Furniture on Facebook.
Curt, congratulations on 30 years of doing the Lords work. Your lifetime devotion to faith love and worship is a monument to you Marion and your faith in God. Though many years have past I often think of our boyhood times with Greg you and I. I wish you the very best with your furniture business and I’m sure you will continue to extend Gods grace and love to all you encounter. Take care. Ken Larie
