MINISTRY TEAM
Pastor Rick & Robin came to Littlestown after serving 7 years in Waynesburg, PA. at First Assembly of God. Pastor Rick has served in full-time pastoral ministry since graduating from Valley Forge Christian College in 1985, with a degree in Pastoral Studies.
Rick has been married to his wife Robin since November 23, 1985, and they have been blessed with three children: Jessica Bryan (married to Frank Bryan), is the Youth Pastor at Calvary Assembly of God in Waynesboro, PA; Ashley Mason lives in Chambersburg, PA. with her husband, Zack; and Jonathan is the Pastor of Student Ministries at The Bridge Church in Hamburg, PA. with his wife Dani. Pastor Rick and Robin are blessed with four grandsons, Frankie Bryan, Jr., Knox Bryan, Colt Bryan; Rhys Mason; and Rhett Ritenour who are the apple of their eye. Pastor Rick and Robin have a desire to see individuals come to know the Lord and to see them discipled so that they have a foundation in Christ to build upon. At Bethel we are big enough that someone can blend in with the larger Body of Christ, however, there are many ways you can connect in small group studies and discipleship opportunities that makes the larger church feel small. We’ve got numerous ministries and classes for you to plug into, purposed to help you connect with others. |

Matthew and Breanna both grew up at Bethel under Kid’s Ministry and Youth Ministry and one of their passions is ministering into the lives of young people.
Zeo Student Ministries is a place where we help students to become Christ centered and to completely find their identity and who they are in Christ; a place where students can devote themselves to honoring the Lord, reaching the lost, sharing the love of Christ with their peers, and making a positive impact for Christ in their schools. We also believe it is a priority to help our seniors make a smooth transition to young adult ministry so that they continue to stay grounded in the Lord and stay connected with others of like age and faith. Matthew and Breanna married on May 26, 2012 and are the proud parents of a daughter, Brynnlee Joy Bennett. Breanna is studying with Global University through Berean School of the Bible in order to secure credentials with the Assemblies of God. |

Kevin and his family came to Bethel in 1995 and have served in many areas of ministry at Bethel. Kevin currently oversees Men’s Ministry, Security Team, and Healing Prayer Ministries.
Men’s Ministry is a place to bring men into a more personal relationship with Jesus and to unite in Bible study, prayer, ministry, fellowship, and accountability. Healing Prayer Ministry relies upon Jesus Christ, who is the Truth that sets us free. True healing comes when foundational lies, bitter roots, and inner vows are exposed by divine truth through the weapon of prayer. Bethel’s Security Team consists of dedicated men and women that have a heart for individuals and families to be able to worship in a safe and secure environment and to provide assistance in the event an emergency or medical situation arises. Kevin is credentialed with the Assemblies of God and he and his wife, Remy, were married in 2019 and live in Gettysburg, PA. |
