The Rev. Kimberly S. McKerley has been Bethany’s pastor since February, 2015. Prior to coming to Randolph, Kim served for 18 years as pastor of Pilgrim United Church of Christ in Brentwood New Hampshire. She is a New Hampshire native and graduate of the University of New Hampshire. She has a Master of Divinity degree from Andover Newton Theological School. Kim and her husband Mark are the parents of three adult children.

Kim has a deep passion for the global church and a belief that building relationships is central to being church – relationships between one person and another, and between people and God. Relationships matter – whether with the neighbor down the street or the sister or brother across the planet – because all the world matters to God.

Three years later, she came to Randolph and taught for 31 years at the Randolph Elementary School until her retirement in 2011. She is the accompanist for Sounding Joy and The Randolph Singers. Marta became the choir director at Bethany in 1997. She feels blessed that Bethany has such a wide range of talents.

The organist of Bethany Church since 1990, Marilyn has studied with Lynnette Combs and Laurence Leonard. She was integral in the renovation of the church’s Hutchings organ after what could have been a disastrous fire in 1992, and in the planning of the organ’s centennial celebration in 1994. A past dean of the Vermont Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, she has served as the northern New England District Convener for the AGO’s Region One. Marilyn also chaired the committee that planned the 2013 Vermont-held convention of the Organ Historical Society, an organization that promotes the appreciation and preservation of historic organs such as Bethany’s instrument.
