Please meet Pastor Keith Garner, his wife Delsey, along with their son, Keith.  They began serving as our pastor in October of 2008 and arrived with a broad spectrum of experience.
 
A graduate of North Central Bible College (now North Central  University) and ordained through the Assemblies of God, Pastor Keith spent four years overseas on the Island of Saipan, serving as a youth pastor, Bible teacher, school administrator, school chaplain and a small group leader.  he has also served as an associate pastor, worship leader, sectional youth representative and sectional treasurer.
 
With a heart for missions, Pastor Keith has been a part of two short term missions trips and has led a third.  All this without mentioning his nearly six years of experience as a senior pastor prior to coming to Bethel.
 
Pastor Keith met his bride while on a missions trip to the Philippines in 1994.  In 1998, Pastor Keith returned to the Philippines to marry Delsey and then took her back with him to assist in ministry on Saipan.
 
Delsey was born and raised in the Philippines and she became the first in her family to be a born again Christian.  Since that time, almost her entire family has put their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  She has a bachelors degree in psychology and assists in ministry wherever she is needed.
 
Together, they have one son, Keith Maurice.
 
Pastor Keith and his family come wanting to serve the body of Christ and to help you find the hope and freedom that is yours in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  We are blessed to have them pastor our congregation and know that you will feel the same when you meet them.
