Ed Arnold
Lead Pastor
Let's nevermind the crazy expression in the picture! (The photographer thought it would help me squint less. He wasn't wrong.)
The year 1990 was the beginning of a transformative journey with Jesus. While I was raised in a Christian home, neither the home, nor I were models of what God truly intended. After a relatively dismal high school career, I served in USAF/USAF Reserve, then went on to enroll at Lancaster Bible College. It took a total of 8 whopping years to graduate from LBC in 2007 with a B.S. in Bible with an emphasis in Pastoral Studies.β

I began serving on staff as Beulah's Youth Pastor in 2000. In January of 2007 the church family called me to accept the role as Beulah's Assistant Pastor. In January of 2021, the church later called me to accept the role as Beulah's Lead Pastor. God is faithful. He continues to reveal who He created me to be.
βA highlight in my life is my wife, Lauren. We were married in 1997. Since then, God has seen fit to bless us with four sons (Luke, Jared, Dylan, and Sawyer), a daughter-in-law (Ella w/ Jared - who begat), and our granddaughter (Selah Jane). Lauren currently works with The Oaks Ministry in Oxford, bringing along her formative experiences from the field of family services and anti-human trafficking. Currently, we reside in the area of Lincoln University.
Hobbies: I have a lifelong enjoyment of motorcycles has led to his current interest in Adventure bikes. (Associated injuries are just my side-hustle.) I also tinkers with cars & trucks occasionally. More recently I have stepped into the abyss of Jeep ownership.

Roger Hunter

Born and raised in the hills of Van, West Virginia, Roger came by faith to Jesus Christ in 1970 after an enlightening confrontation with a Boy Scout chaplain. After graduating from West Virginia Tech in 1975 with an Associate degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Roger headed to Tennessee Temple University where he graduated with a B.S. in Pastoral Studies in 1980. Roger sensed God leading him to complete his M. Div. in Pastoral Studies at Temple Baptist Seminary, where he graduated. God called Roger and Madonna to Beulah Baptist in 1986 whereupon he began his ministry as Beulah's Senior Pastor.
βHe and his high school sweetheart, Madonna reside in Oxford, PA where she is employed as a Kindergarten Aide for Oxford's school district. They have three daughters; Amie, Alisha, and Ashley. They also have nine grandchildren: Blake, Lance, Grant, Charlotte, Gavin, Clara, Kaitlyn, Grace, and Eleanor.
