Welcome to the Rev. Fred Kandeler

Travis Park UMC is blessed to welcome our interim pastor, the Rev. Fred Kandeler! Fred has served in the Texas, Southwest Texas, North Texas and Centeral Texas Conferences of The United Methodist Church. He spent the majority of his time in ministry in the North Texas Conference where he served on the staff at Highland Park UMC, served as the senior pastor of University Park UMC, and founded Christ UMC in Plano. My wife, Sarah, grew up at Christ Church and that is where we were married! Fred is on the advisory board of the group The Methodist Federation for Social Action. He was also one of the leading opponents of the drive to put the Bush Library at SMU.
Fred's first day was today and was amazing! I am very excited about learning from him and I know the church will be blessed by his excellent leadership.
