Neal Kloster is the new pastor at Our Saviour's Baptist Church in Elkhorn, Nebraska. He grew up in Blair, Nebraska, and has lived in many places before returning to his home state. He earned his undergrad at Grace University in Omaha, Nebraska, and went to seminary at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. Then he worked in churches in Iowa, California, and North Dakota. Pastor Neal and his wife Traela will be married 25 years in August. They have three children: Devon (16), Karis (14) and Tanner (11). Neal says that he "sold his surfboard for a kayak" when he moved from California, and he enjoys spending time outdoors.

They have been serving with the Rural Home Missionary Association, a mission that plants and strengthens churches in small towns, for over 12 years. Bethel Baptist is their third church with RHMA. Pastor Ted is also serving half-time at Evergreen Church in Hayes Center. Ted grew up in Ohio, and graduated from Moody Bible Institute in 1985. He and Abbie have been married for 40 years and have five children and 10 grandchildren (with one more on the way). When on the road, they enjoy finding museums to explore and good parks to walk.
