A Little about Our Pastor:

He holds his Bachelors Degree from Free Will Baptist Bible College in Nashville, Tennessee with majors in Bible, Christian Education and Music. He and his wife, Connie, have four children and one grandchild. He brings with him his wife, Connie, and three of his four children, Rebecca, Caleb and Rachel. His oldest son, Joshua, is now Associate and Youth Pastor here at Bethel. Joshua and his wife, Candace, have had their first child, a boy named, Isaac Nathaniel Ham.

A Word from Our Pastor:
It is a joy and a privilege to be the Pastor of Bethel FWB Church. We have a wonderful family of believers and I look forward to many wonderful days ahead. God has already been working in our midst and we invite you to come and be a part of what God is doing. Our year’s verse this year says “forgetting those things which are behind and pressing toward the mark of the high calling of Christ Jesus.”  We want to grow together this year.

Our theme for the past couple of years has been "Giving Living Water to a Thirsty World." What a glorious challenge that is for us. We are looking for those who will share the love of God with enthusiasm. As the pastor, I personally invite you to come and get to know us at Bethel.
