Sue Oelke
Worship Assistant
Sue is a valuable asset to the Bethel team, bringing years of experience in worship, music, technology and more. Sue received her BA in Education from St. Cloud State, and is currently a fulltime Special Education teacher in the Anoka-Hennepin School District, specializing in autism. Sue is known for her joyous smile, her love of kids, and her years of leading worship (many of them with Pastor Jim).

If you would like to help out in any way with worship, or have a musical talent to offer, Sue would love to hear from you.
April McKenzy
Custodian
April keeps Bethel looking fresh and shiny every week. You may never see her though, because she is a very active mom during the week, and often takes care of the church after everyone else has gone home. April joined the Bethel staff in May 2017. What you may not know is that April dreams about moving to Hawaii someday, laying on the hot beaches, and never thinking about snow again! If there is ever an issue with any part of the facilities, please let April know, and she will gladly take care of it. The email below connects to the office for your convenience.
