Our Pastor and Leaders
Pastor Becky Rudash
Pastor Becky’s faith journey began in her small town roots in Pennsylvania. Growing up, she had a passion for serving others through various ministries in her local church, which extended into her adult years. She became licensed with the Assemblies of God and served as the Children’s leader and later as Youth Pastor at MMGT. Despite her years of ministry, it wasn't until God impressed on her heart that she was called to become a lead pastor at Bethel. Today, Pastor Becky is grateful for how God has guided her throughout her life. She looks back on her faith journey with amazement at how God has opened doors for her and has brought peace and joy to her heart through her obedience to His will.
Beyond her love for ministry, Pastor Becky has a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures in life. She loves dark chocolate, cheese, meat, olives, and all things savory. She enjoys taking time to gaze up at the beautiful Virginia skies, marveling at God's creation. Most of all, Pastor Becky loves her husband Mike, whom she has been happily married to for 28 years, and her two grown children, Noah and Emma. Her love for Jesus is at the center of everything she does, and she relies daily on the infilling of the Holy Spirit to guide her on her path. Pastor Becky is a testament to the power of faith and obedience and is an inspiration to those who seek to follow in her footsteps.
