Bishop Paul Leeland, resident bishop of the Western NC Conference, has announced the appointment of Rev. Ben Floyd to the joint positions of pastor of Blackburns Chapel United Methodist Church (BCUMC), a missional campus of Boone United Methodist Church, and Executive Director of Blackburn Community Outreach (BCO).

Rev. Floyd comes to Todd from his current home in Canton, GA where he has lived with his wife, Amy and two children (Grace, age 9 and Sam, age 6) while pursuing an M. Div. degree from Candler School of Theology, Emory University in Atlanta, GA. He anticipates graduation in May of 2017. Ben has an appreciation for rural Appalachian culture from his experience serving in downtown Asheville and at a small church in rural North Georgia.

Ben was drawn to Blackburns by the intentional community, Blackburn House, a program of Blackburn Community Outreach housed in the old BCUMC parsonage since 2012. He has a special love of relationships and collaborative style in small churches and in the communities they serve. To Ben, the community is the church. He also has an interest in recovery ministry. Ben sees Blackburns Chapel and BCO as being part of an emerging trend smaller communities of faith connected to larger churches being one of the ways churches will grow in the twenty-first century.

Rev. Floyd will begin his appointment at Blackburns Chapel and BCO on July 1st. We also express our gratitude to Rev. Brandon Wrencher, the outgoing Pastor of Blackburns Chapel and Director of Blackburn Community Outreach. Rev. Wrencher ably and enthusiastically led the fledgling organization, Blackburn House, from its infancy into the more developed Blackburn Community Outreach, a non-profit organization under Boone United Methodist Church.

Pastor Wrencher with his wife, Erica and their two sons, Phillip and Mo, have offered an experience of generosity, warmth, brilliance, talent and tolerance. Pastor Wrencher has led Blackburns Chapel and Blackburn Community Outreach to develop mission, vision, goals and administrative structures that have fostered community engagement, grant funding from the Duke Endowment, the addition of staff, and growth in service to the community. As the Wrenchers move to their new appointment in Greensboro, we express deep gratitude from the bottom of our mountain hearts.
