My wife Andrea and I grew up in Springfield, MO until 2012 when we were called into pastoral ministry. We have five children and five grandchildren. Our youngest daughter is graduating this year and leaving to attend Evangel University. We have adopted one of our granddaughters that we lovingly call Taco. Andrea's passion and calling is to teach children everything from math to who Jesus is. My passion is to preach and teach the saving grace of Jesus Christ. I have served in ministry for 17 years as everything from a chair stacker, Sunday School Teacher, Royal Rangers Commander, Youth Pastor and Lead Pastor in Missouri, Arizona and now beautiful Colorado. We are excited to begin this new journey with the awesome Bethel family. Join us as we Love God, Love People, and Love Each other. 

I grew up at Bethel going to the children’s and youth programs. Youth was where I first learned what it meant to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and where I first felt the call into ministry. After high school I went to college at Bellevue Master’s Commission, and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Student Ministry. There I grew an even deeper love for Jesus and even greater passion for Youth Ministry. I am so excited to be back here at Bethel doing ministry alongside all these awesome leaders and followers of Christ.

I grew up in Bethel, attending their children’s and youth programs.

I am so honored to help lead the next generation to Jesus.  I have been working with children's ministry for more than 10 years.  I work in education during the week as my full time position.  I have attended Colorado Christian University and Western Governor's University with emphasis in Early Childhood Education and Special Education K-12.  Using classroom strategies for learning we can help children understand Bible stories.  2/3 rds of Christians come to know him before 18 years old, we are happy to be a part of that!

We have been married for 22 years and have two wonderful kids. Before becoming Family Ministry Pastors, we were the Youth Pastors at Bethel for 17 years. Tammy is the best Cajun cook in the world. Tammy is from West Lake Louisiana. Bill has lived in Grand Junction his whole life and is a big fan of all Colorado sports teams. Even when they have horrible years...I'm looking at you Rockies.

I grew up here in Grand Junction going to this very church. I have helped in several ministries during my time here including youth, the food bank, and many others. Now, I have stepped up to do Women's Ministry. My vision for Women's Ministry is to encourage a group of women who love God and create lasting relationships with other like minded women. I would love to see our younger generation get involved and get them excited about being part of the church. I am always open for suggestions so feel free to contact me with anything you would like to see happen.

I have attended Bethel for nine years and became Sunday School coordinator about four years ago. My husband, Bill and I have been married 47 years and have two children. Our daughter teaches Sunday School here and our son is an Associate Pastor in Castle Rock, CO. I started coordinating activities for Seniors just this year.

I've been attending Bethel since 2012. I come from a family of talented musicians and I have been singing since I was a little girl. I feel most connected to God when I am worshiping Him through music.

I have been running sound along side the rest of the audio team for nearly 10 years. In 2020 after Covid set in, I took on the task of setting up our online stream, youtube channel, and various other tasks. I'm learning everything I can on the fly in the audio/video realm and always looking for better ways to improve. 

My wife, Karen and I came to Bethel in 2009. I joined the usher team soon after. As other ushers retired I became the senior member, and took over doing the scheduling for ushers and greeters. Being a servant of God is the greatest reward.
