George KohlPastor George A. Kohl comes to Bethany Baptist Church from Eastford Baptist Church, where he served as their intentional interim minister. Prior to that he was the Sr. Pastor at Belmont Street Chapel, Worcester MA since 1995.

Pastor Kohl is a graduate of Lancaster Bible College and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He previously served churches in Cortland, N.Y. and Central Islip (Long Island), New York. He and his wife, Martha, have five children, a son-in-law, a daughter-in-law, and four grand-dogs. Pastor Kohl accepted Christ when he was 16 years old and preached his first sermon when he was 17. His deepest ministerial love is seeing non-Christians discipled and changed into practicing followers of Jesus Christ.

Pastor Kohl enjoys spending time with his family, reading nonfiction and traveling. His trips to the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Vietnam, India, Haiti, and Ghana were very special times in his life.

Pastor Kohl will lead Bethany in its process of finding a new, permanent minister.
