David was called to serve Bethel in 2003. Prior to his arrival in Oregon, he served churches in Boulder, Colorado and Harrisonburg, Virginia. David has encouraged the Bethel congregation to embrace a theology of grace. He is committed to the Still Speaking Initiative's core message: "no matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here!"

David's wife, Jeanne, serves as Director of Educational Ministries and Youth at Cedar Hills UCC. Jeanne and David live in the community with their two sons, Caleb and Jacob.

Stephen Galván Director of Music Ministry
sg@bethelbeaverton.org

Steve has been in church music for more than 40 years, beginning as a pianist at the age of 6 in his parent's church in Douglas, Arizona. His greatest love is conducting because he can put his whole body into it, and his taste in music is very diverse. Steve brings to Bethel a great energy and passion for integrating music and art into the worship experience. He introduced the concept of "Music Sundays" to Bethel in 2005 and and we have been fortunate to share worship with musicians such as The Whiskey Flats Brass Band, Grupo Condor, The Duelin' Sopranos, and John Nielsen.

In addition to his position at Bethel, Steve also serves as the Artistic Director of I Sing Community Choir, teaches private voice and piano students in his home studio, and resurrects the dead (computers, that is) at Southridge High School.

Beverly Woolf, Office Manager

Beverly brings with her a wealth of administrative and office management skills that she acquired over a 15 year period working for New Zealand's largest utility company. Beverly and her family relocated to Beaverton in 2010 to be closer to family.

Yvonne Yang, Accompanist/Pianist

Yvonne accompanies the Chancel Choir during rehearsals and on Sunday mornings, and shares her gifts on the piano with us during worship services. Yvonne has degrees in Piano Performance and Computer Engineering. She has perfect pitch (which comes in handy in matching the passing train whistle) and impeccable timing (which is invaluable when the musicians can't get it down). Unfortunately for the world of music, Yvonne masquerades as a board engineering manager at Intel during the day.
