Our Pastor: Rev. Dave Hentschel, Th.M.   

Pastor Dave is a New Jersey native. He is married to his wife Julie and they enjoy three wonderful daughters (Alexandria, Makayla and Felicity). Dave studied for ministry at Philadelphia Biblical University during which time he met one of his favorite professors, Dr. David Babbitt (the previous pastor here at Mt. Bethel). After PBU, he followed God's call to further study at Dallas Theological Seminary to pursue a Master of Theology degree. In Dallas, he had the opportunity to serve as an Assistant Pastor and the Interim Pastor at a Southern Baptist Church. He was also privileged to work as a professional public speaker at schools and churches for a non-profit organization called Aim for Success, Inc., America's largest provider of sexual abstinence programs. After DTS, he began to feel God calling him back home. Pastor Dave was installed at Mt. Bethel in the Summer of 2009. Dave enjoys reading, playing basketball and spending time with his family.

Our Worship Leader: Bridget Larson

Bridget grew up in MN and is a popular praise and worship leader for retreats, conferences and events all around the United States. Her latest album featuring "He is" was recently named “Christian Contemporary Album of the Year" as the Peoples Choice in the Independent Music Awards. Bridget says her deepest moments with God have occurred while leading others into worship. “I know what it is like to press in and enter into that Holy place of worship. Once you have been there, nothing else satisfies. I try to lead people to where I have been and when I see others experience that place, I know true freedom is coming. To be a part of that for someone else is an honor.” To learn more about Bridget, you can visit www.bridgetlarson.com
