Pastor Dick has a special heart for evangelism intertwined with discipleship and has a powerful gift to preach the Word. He’s described by his congregation as a man who “speaks truth” and “doesn’t water down the Word of God.” They also admire his ability to encourage people when they are at their lowest point.
Pastor Beth has a special heart for single mothers and heads up the “Women with a Mission” ministry at Beach Family. She also heads up the Deliverance ministry, the only one of its kind in this entire area. Members often refer to her as “Mama” because of her swiftness in running to someone’s aid when they are hurting and need help.
