Pastor Reggie Hester became the pastor of Bethel in October of 2005. He attended High school in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. He and His wife Kay met in college at Campbell University in Buies Creek, NC. They were married in 1991and have three children Danielle (14), Davis (12), and Ross (7). Reggie earned both a Bachelors and Masters degree in Business Administration at Campbell University. He also has a Masters of Divinity degree from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Reggie's passions are seeing people come to Christ and then shepherding them to grow through the scriptures. Reggie believes this is best accomplished through a firm commitment to expository preaching. Known to preach topically on occasion, most of his pulpit ministry involves preaching verse by verse through books of the bible. Reggie’s life verse is Philippians 1:21 “To live is Christ to die is gain.” |

He has taken up the task of writing our Sunday School curriculum so that our members can learn verse by verse of God's Word. His administrative talents come from years of working with the Chesapeake School System.
