MINISTRY TEAM

Rev. Richard & Robin Ritenour, Lead Pastors

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 ordained with the Assemblies of God and is an itinerant evangelist; Ashley Mason lives in Chambersburg, PA. with her husband, Zack; and Jonathan (married to Dani Sullenbarger) is ordained with the Assemblies of God and they live in Hamberg, PA.

Pastor Rick and Robin are blessed with six grandsons, Frankie Bryan, Jr., Knox Bryan, Colt Bryan; Rhys & Adler Mason; and Rhett Ritenour who are the apples 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.
