The Reverend Melba Dibble

Pastor

I began my working career as a Reg. nurse. After Peter and I had adopted several children, I stayed home to raise them and homeschool several of them. Shortly after arriving in Pennsylvania, I began to listen to the calling of God to become a pastor. I was an Aaron’s minister for a time and felt I needed to do more. While I was on a youth trip to Gettysburg, TEEM was introduced to me. I went to Gettysburg, completed my TEEM education and was ordained in 2012. I did my internship with PLUM and was a member of the team from 2009 until I was called as Bethany's pastor in November 2018.
