a message from the bethel elders:
We’re excited to share that Jeff Stevenson is being presented as a candidate for Church Facilities Deacon.
This new deacon role supports the Operations Director in keeping Bethel’s facilities safe, functional, and welcoming—while also helping with volunteer teams for projects and maintenance..
With consistent affirmation from staff, congregation members, and through our own experience with him, the Elder Board is united in presenting Jeff as a candidate for Church Facilities Deacon.
Bethel members will have the opportunity to vote on this candidate during the Annual Family Business Meeting on June 22.

MEET Jeff Stevenson:
My wife and I have been married 26 years and have four girls. 13,10, and twin 6 year olds. I met my wife in the church that she grew up in and I became a Christian. Through various moves with my former career as management with Les Schwab and my wife’s career in the military, we were part of many different churches. In 2021, after finishing our time in the military we moved to the Tri-Cities to be closer to family and heard about Bethel from friends. It was the first church we visited and very quickly became home for us.
As we are now settled and plan on being here long term to raise our family, I was able to connect and serve more consistently. I am currently part of the team that does Christmas for Everyone, Men’s Bible Study, and am part of a small group.
As a stay at home father my priorities have been with my children, however now that my youngest are school aged, I have been able to help more around the church. I look forward to working with Bethel staff and other members to keep our facilities looking great and well-maintained. I hope to utilize my gifts and those of other willing people to make this happen to the best of my ability through the programs we have set up in the church.
