On October 11, 2009 Pastor Gary Kitchin was ordained at Bunker Hill Lutheran Brethren Church. The ordination service was held at 4 p.m. and over 160 people from the Eastern Region were in attendence. Music was provided by the Bunker Hill Praise Team, Marit DeKok, and Sharon Hansen and her two daughters (from Praise Christian Fellowship in Connecticut). The speaker for the service was Pastor Kitchin's former pastor, Pastor Warren Geraghty. Pastor Rick Bridston of Staten Island, Pastor Kitchin's mentor, presided and ordained him. All visiting pastors and elders were invited to come to the front and lay hands on him as he entered the full-time Christian service. Pastor Kitchin is married to Anne. It was a blessed time for the congregation at Bunker Hill, especially since it was the first time a pastor was ordained in our church.
