Vance Purkey - Associate Pastor of Administration and Education

E-mail Vance

In October of 2005 Bethel Baptist Church called me to be their Associate Pastor. In November of 2005, my youngest son, my wife and I packed up our things and moved to Roswell. This is the first time we have lived outside the state of Texas. Moving to Roswell  from the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex has been quite a change, but we are content that God called us here to serve with such a wonderful loving congregation as Bethel. Roswell is feeling a little more like home everyday.

If you don't have a church home, I would encourage you to check out this warm, loving congregation. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

If you are an outdoor person, you may run into me in a variety of places. My family and I enjoy many outdoor activities including camping, fishing, hiking, hunting, and shooting. If you see me out, feel free to introduce yourself and say howdy, I'm always open to making new friends.

I am also a licensed amateur radio operator, K5VLP, and a trained storm spotter.

Hope to see you sometime soon.

Vance
