Ron and Jan Meador came to Bethel in October 1983. They moved to Duncan with the prayer that God would allow them to pastor the church for at least ten years. Now thirty-seven years later, the church continues to thrive and move forward under the leadership of Pastor Ron.  

Ron has served in various capacities of leadership in the Assemblies of God both locally and state wide which include Sectional Youth Representative, Sectional Presbyter, and District Church Multiplication Director.  

Jan serves the church as the Office Manager, accountant, and organizer of functions, special events, and banquets. Her other interests include interior decorating, helping Ron on their small ranch east of Duncan, and, of course, seeing her children and grandchildren as often as possible.

Freeland and Karon Hise have been the Children’s Pastors at Bethel Church since June 2017. Freeland is a graduate of Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Karon is a graduate of Southwestern Assembly of God College. Freeland and Karon both hold an Oklahoma Teaching Certification for Elementary Education. Freeland and Karon have worked with children for more than 20 years. Pastor Freeland and Karon want to see God grow and strengthen the children and families of Bethel Church.

Paul and Rebekah Houston have previously been youth pastors for ten years and senior pastors for six years.  They have been from Washington to Texas to Oklahoma and were in Colorado from 2008 to 2022.  They were in Bethel’s youth ministry together and were married here in 1999. God has brought them back to where it all began to be the youth pastors at Bethel.  They are very excited to be here and cannot wait to see what God has in store for His people.
