Andrew Siep
Campus Pastor

Pastor Andrew and his family began coming to Bethel even before they relocated from Tampa to Palmetto in 2015.  Drawn to Bethel’s heart for the lost and broken, his first ministry was pulling a wagon through the parking lot welcoming families and guests on Sunday mornings.  After several years serving in various capacities, most recently as a deacon and as an officer on the missions team, he accepted the call to serve the Bethel Family as Campus Pastor.  Pastor Andrew received his bachelors degree and a masters in ministry leadership from Southeastern University, completing his thesis on the intersection of public theology, the church, and culture.  With a burden for the globally disenfranchised and forgotten in mind, he also completed a masters in government with a graduate certificate in Middle East studies from Regent University.  He and his wife Catie live in Palmetto with their daughter Kennedy and son Easton.
