Ken Jung, Associate Pastor

Ken Jung, originally from California, came to Bethel Grove to serve with young families in 2006. His vision is to create an environment at BG that assists parents as they disciple their children. Having lived in Hong Kong and England, Ken has developed an appetite for food delicacies (pigeon, shepherd’s pie, haggis). A lover of different cultures (though a master of only one language!) he hopes to combine traveling with teaching in developing countries. Formerly a “sports junky,” Ken now enjoys being a “home body”—spending time with his wife, Peggy and their two sons, William and Timothy.

Eric Hause, Youth Pastor

Eric Hause, San Diego native, came to Bethel Grove via Denver Seminary in 2001. Although called to be the leader of our youth ministry, Eric's technological expertise and musical gifts, are also a great asset to the church. Eric can frequently be found riding his mountain bike to work in good weather. He has to stay physically as well as spiritually fit to keep up with BG's energetic teens. He fearlessly leads them on camping and missions trips, challenges them through Bible study and diligently disciples them along the way. Pictures of wife Mary and daughter Mattie, the women in his life, fill his office walls.

Dee Dee Berry, Administrative Assistant

Dee Dee grew up in nearby Watkins Glen and came to Bethel Grove from Cornell in 2000. Her boundless energy and ability to juggle infinite details, keep the church office going, even on the busiest of days. Dee Dee excels at making connections between people and ministries in the church, matching up resources with needs, and helping newcomers become a part of the life of the church. Being a single adult, she enjoys bringing the singles of BG together for fun events (either at BG or joining in with other area singles ministries). Dee Dee fills her time away from BG with family and friends.

Jesssica Morgan, Administrative Assistant, Children's Ministry

Bethel Grove announces its newest addition to the staff: Jessica Morgan now serves as the administrative assistant for Promiseland. Married to Mike and mother to Leah, Jessica comes to BG with a broad range of work experience (New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, grassland researcher, Iroquois Natural Wildlife Refuge). A lover of nature and the outdoors, Jessica adores children, possesses good administrative skills, and has an eye for details. Jessica is excited to be “on board” and is looking forward to meeting all the “new faces” of BG.

Lynn Adams, Communications and Ministry Support

Cornell brought the Adams family to Ithaca, where Lynn and husband, Jim, have raised five children. Lynn is a Gordon College grad who began her career as a 3rd grade teacher. While home schooling the kids, she taught in a GED program and published curricula- her favorite, a year of home school instruction using The Chronicles of Narnia called Lion Preparatory Academy. With children nearly launched, Lynn is enjoying being creative with Bethel Grove's publications and website development, and assisting wherever needed.
