Rev. Beth Faeth has been the Senior Pastor of People’s Church since July 2003. She is also a loving wife, a blessed mom of two young children, a hopeful gardener, a compassionate listener and a belly laugher.
“I believe that God is in the midst of all things – joy, sorrow, goodness, challenge, mundane. It is through the church community that we can tune into God’s presence and allow God to shape our life and work. I proclaim the power of God’s love, and as a pastor I want to encourage others to open themselves up to that transforming love – to the power of God that can heal, can encourage, can reconcile, can renew. It is through God’s love that we understand our true potential.”
