"We are excited about building on the church's strong history as we reach out in ministry and service to the world."

Before making the trip to Prescott, Lenderman was pastor of the Parkers Chapel and Pleasant Grove Methodist Churches in the El Dorado area. He has also served as the associate pastor of the FUMC at Hot Springs.

He is a 1986 graduate of the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and a 1991 graduate of Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Ky.
