Leadership Team
The Presbytery of North Central California has convened a specially chosen team to come alongside Bethany during the congregation’s time of membership decline and lack of pastor. This “Administrative Commission” is comprised of elder colleagues and partners in ministry. The AC is functioning with what is called “Original Jurisdiction” and will—for a time—be the decision-making body at Bethany.
Commencing in spring 2024, during Bethany’s transition time—a period without a called pastor—the Session was rechristened as “Bethany Shepherds.” This group of elected elders meets regularly with a team chosen by the Presbytery to help Bethany with its governance, decision-making and planning.
Bethany currently lacks paid office/administrative staff; operations are handled by teams of volunteers. Please join in thanking those who have stepped up in this time of need to keep the ministry and mission of Bethany going!
