Introductions are In Order

Hello Bethany Friends and Families,

The community here at Bethany is something special and I am honored to be stepping into the role of Director of Family, Youth, and Children. My name is Jake Bancroft and I have been blessed to be the Children's Director here at Bethany for almost three years now. I have loved working with everyone from staff, volunteers, parents, youth, and kids and look forward to continuing to do so in my new role.
A little about me, I am married to my wonderful wife Mackenzie, and I have a wonderful 20-month-old son, James. I grew up in New England but came to PA for college at Eastern University in Wayne, PA. I got a degree in youth ministry and minored in biblical studies and psychology. I've had a passion for families, youth, and kids ever since I can remember and have loved every opportunity I have had to work alongside them. I look forward to doing the same with you all.
I truly believe that God is present at Bethany and that He has great things planned for us all. The only I will ask of you is to be in prayer as we begin this new year in ministry as we enter a new chapter in the ministry here at Bethany.

God Bless,
Jake Bancroft
