Julie Hostetter resigns from Congregational Life Teams.

Julie M. Hostetter, coordinator of Congregational Life Team (CLT) Area 3 for the General Board, has resigned effective April 30. She has accepted the position of Academic Coordinator for United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio, where she received her master of divinity degree in 1982 and served as administrative staff for five-and-a-half years.

Hostetter began with the board in 1997, working from Roanoke, Va. She brought experience as a co-pastor, pastoral administrator, church musician, and teacher, as well as a priority for education and the place of children to her work. Her duties included resourcing and consulting with congregations and districts, networking with Annual Conference agencies, and providing leadership training in Christian education, worship, music, and ethics. She coordinated the editorial team for "The Seed Packet" Christian education newsletter, served on the advisory committee for the new Gather 'Round curriculum, and chaired the launch committee for TOGETHER: Conversations on Being the Church.

Hostetter plans to bring her regional work to a close by April 30, but will continue denomination-related tasks during a time of transition. Carol Yeazell, Area 3 CLT member, will serve as interim coordinator until a new CLT staff member is hired.
