Pastors Ron and Annie Halvorson have pastored Bethel Christian Center since 1971. Known and loved all over the world, our pastors have given their lives to "transform lives and build Christian character," to bring people into a full relationship with Jesus Christ.

Assistant Pastor Mike Crites has worked at Bethel since 1984 and was our Youth Pastor for over a decade. Having spent so many years working with young people, he is very aware of the issues and concerns that they face every day. Mike, with his wife Ronda leads our Sunday Evening Encounter service.

Assistant Pastor Ronda Crites has been our Music and Drama director since 1988, overseeing and directing all of the performing arts, including our Christmas, Easter and Indepencence Day productions, special performances and all of our Praise and Worship services.

Youth Pastor Steve Dorsey has worked with young people since 1994 after graduating from Bethel Christian High School and College. Overseeing all of the Junior High, Senior High and College-Age acitivities, Steve is a great example and role model for teenagers and young adults to look up to.

Children's Pastor Harold Heffelfinger has been involved in children's ministry since the industrial revolution (OK, maybe not that long). He has directed Bethel's Children's Church, Sunday School and Wednesday's Pioneer Clubs since 1999. Our kids really do love Harold and the rest of the Children's Ministry Staff. Your kids will too . . .
