Hi everyone, my name is Daniel and I serve as the Senior Pastor here at Bethel. I was born in England and brought up in a Christian family before making a decision to follow the Lord Jesus at a young age. I am married to Christiane and have been blessed with four amazing daughters.

Following theological education at Belfast Bible College and Cambridge University, I have served in ministry positions as an assistant pastor in England, an Army Chaplain with the British Army, and as a pastor in Germany. The Lord called us to serve here at Bethel in August 2023.

What do I love about Bethel? That they are Bible-teaching, Spirit-filled and Jesus-glorifying (and friendly!) - and I hope that you find that to be your experience too!

As Senior Pastor I am primarily responsible for "preaching, prayer and pastoral" work alongside leading the (fantastic!) staff team and working with the Elders and the Board of Directors in discerning the Lord's leading in our Church family. The greatest joy in my ministry is seeing people come to know and love the Lord Jesus.

We would love to welcome you for worship and fellowship at Bethel, and if you have any questions, please do email me.

Hello, my name is Jamie and I have had the privilege of being the Family Ministries Pastor here at Bethel since 2009. I am passionate about using my creativity to help kids and their families grow closer to Jesus. I love to have fun, and my husband Rob always keeps me laughing. We have 2 beautiful daughters, 2 wonderful son-in-laws. I am known as “Jamma” to 3 amazing grandchildren who bring so my joy to our lives. In my spare time, I enjoy knitting, dyeing wool, reading, walking and playing with Bogie our toy poodle.

Hello, my name is Connor and I have the privilege of coordinating the youth at Bethel. I have years of experience working with youth in both Middle School and High School settings. This has taken place in many different locations not only in Eastern Ontario but also in Northern Ontario, the Maritimes, and even Thailand. My summers are spent serving our youth at Camp IAWAH through outdoor education and leadership training. In my free time, I can be found running, playing hockey, soccer, and going on canoe trips.

Hi! I'm a French Canadian by birth, from the Ottawa area, and moved to Kingston in 1996 when my soldier-husband Mike was posted here. We've been here ever since, and now call Kingston home since Mike's retirement. My background is Law (although I graduated waaaaaay back in 1993, and never really practiced, in case you’re tempted to ask me for free legal advice – you’ll get what you pay for!). I've been working part-time for the church since 2006 (you'll usually find me here Tue-Fri, 9-1, and at church on Sundays, of course!). I started as the church’s Secretary, and now as the Administrator. My job is to make sure Bethel's administrative framework (including policy and abuse prevention and training) run smoothly so that my pastoral colleagues are free to minister. Or, as I'm fond of saying, "My Job is Paper, my Business is People." (Registered Trademark! 🙂 In my spare time, I love being active (soccer is a particular sports obsession, although I do love sports in general), and I'm also an avid postage stamp collector (GIVE ME YOUR OLD STAMPS! 🙂 and cross-stitcher (a.k.a “how-to-keep-your-hands-busy-so-you-don’t-eat-in-front-of-the-tv” 🙂 ) I also enjoy a role as Bethel's Apologist-in-Residence, always willing to make a defence for the hope I have, with gentleness and respect. Mike and I don’t have children, but our house is nonetheless maintained for the total comfort and convenience of our two (male) cats: Timmy and Isosceles, the Beloved Idiots.

Hi! I'm Daniel (or Dan)!

I'm our Media and Communications Coordinator here at Bethel! I first got connected with Bethel through youth group, and have been an active member of our Kingston church community ever since, leading and participating in various ministries across the city. After graduating college, I've spent the past five years working various gigs in marketing, and I am thrilled to now bring my unique blend of skills (and bad jokes) to the team at Bethel! When I am not at Bethel, I can be found hiking, studying, cooking, or diving into a new hobby! Feel free to shoot me an email if you ever need anything office or tech related at Bethel!
