Reverend Megan Lineberger came to Bethel in June of 2021. She graduated from Lenoir-Rhyne College in 2008 and Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary with a Master of Divinity in 2017. She enjoys working alongside the people of Bethel to share God’s love with the greater White Rock, Chapin, Ballentine, and Irmo areas. It is a joy for her to serve and learn how God is alive and at work in a community with such rich history and roots. Pastor Megan enjoys family and friends, her dogs, gardening, and sewing.

Julia Richardson Parker is a graduate of Newberry College, UofSC, and Trinity Lutheran Seminary in OH. After serving as the church musician in the SC midlands, then Columbus, OH, and Gettysburg, PA/Emmitsburg, MD, she is grateful for the opportunity to return to South Carolina and especially to Dutch Fork, her ‘heritage home’. She is excited to be serving Bethel congregation in a similar capacity.
