Bethany Nass Cseh - Pastor

Bethany (M.Div) didn’t know she would be a pastor until she’d been “pastoring” for six years. She love preaching, writing, podcasting, and walking with people. She is mom to Isaac, Emmiley, and Antonio. Going to the river, hitting heavy weights at the gym, or dancing in her kitchen brings her joy and fills her spirit. Every morning she wakes up early, brews coffee, leaves her home to pray and listen to scripture and walk and record a TikTok “Walk With Me” devotional. Bethany serves Justice for Josiah and is a Faith Leader with True North Organizing Network. She is also a United Methodist minister.
