About Us

Pastor Carol has been serving in the Greater New Jersey Annual Conference for 23 years. Prior to that she was the Director of a local human services agency. She is a graduate of Drexel University and Eastern Baptist Seminary (now Palmer Seminary). Pastor Carol has a passion for social justice, service in the community, and interfaith partnerships. In 2010, she was the recipient of the Bishop's Award for Christian Unity and Interreligious Concerns. 

She and her husband John have three adult sons, Michael, Kevin, and Brian. In her spare time, she loves to sing, read, and travel. She's made two pilgrimages to Israel, and looks forward to returning sometime in the future.

Our pianist, Debby Donovan, is a life-long member of Bethel, and a graduate of Eastern College and Drexel University.

Debby serves as the choir director and leads the Chancel Choir and Praise Team in singing a broad range of worship music. We are blessed to have such a skilled musician in our midst! 

Debbie Trowbridge attended Bethel in her childhood and youth, and returned here to serve as our organist in 2011. Along with her skillful talent in playing the organ and piano, she also plays the harp.

We are blessed to have her accompany us in worship!
