Pianist

Kay Berthold

Kay is more than just a gifted piano player. She serves as a prayer leader, gifted musical talents such as playing a wide range of traditional hymns to current contemporary Christian, and one God’s anointed women in the children’s ministry. Kay hardly ever misses an opportunity on Sunday to teach young children about the Word of God. Sister Kay is not alone in her eagerness to disciple up children, as the kids come with just as much excitement about Sunday School with Miss Kay. Kay has been married for many long happy years to her husband Larry. They have three adult children, many grandchildren, and a few great-grandchildren.

Media Team/Sound Board

Matthew Pace

Matthew enjoys praying for people all over the world. Each Sunday, he brings several prayer concerns to Pastor Brandon. Bethel leaves no stone unturned when it comes to prayer because, Matthew keeps his church up to date on all the latest news worldwide. Brother Matthew enjoys building model boats and cars and completed the most complex Lego projects. His mom, Kitty Pace was influential in his walk with Jesus Christ. Although, Kitty was called home to Lord in 2021 she still remains close to Matthew’s heart and her life lessons continue to mold both Matthew and his twin brother Manley.
