Rev. Jesse Pirschel, who was installed as senior pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church in August 2015, announced to the congregation on Sunday that he is returning to his former congregation in California.

He will again be senior pastor at Providence Presbyterian Church in Temecula, Calif. He served there 11 years.

Rev. Pirschel had been chosen to lead Covenant Presbyterian on East Brainerd Road after a long search following the retirement of longtime pastor Dr. Render Caines, who is pastor emeritus.

Rev. Pirschel and his wife, Lenny, have four children; Maya, Solomon, Silas, and Israel. Maya attends Covenant College and the other three children are at Chattanooga Christian School.

Pastor Pirschel and his wife were born and raised in California.

After graduating from college, Rev. Pirschel served with Calvary Chapel in California. Then he and his wife served on the mission field in Slovakia. From there, he started seminary while working full-time in Pennsylvania. Juggling that with a growing family led to a transfer to Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, where he earned his Masters of Divinity degree in 2003. The Pirschels then returned to California where he served as an intern at Harvest OPC and then senior pastor at Providence Presbyterian.
