Rev. Phil Gifford
Associate Pastor of Worship
pgifford@bbcyorktown.org

Phil and Pam Gifford were called to serve Bethel Baptist Church in January 2008. They have been married for three years and are expecting their first child in June. Phil has a B.A. in Biblical Studies from Liberty University and a Masters of Divinity degree from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary.
It is Phil¹s desire to see Bethel become a church where music is an expression and celebration of an already deeply rooted and developing personal walk with Jesus Christ. He hopes that visitors and members of Bethel will walk away from the worship services focused on God and the authentic worship of Him. As well as leading the choir, orchestra, and congregational worship Phil enjoys playing several instruments as opportunities arise. He also enjoys swimming, running, reading, and the various home projects his wife assigns him.

David began his ministry at Bethel in March 2007.  He and his wife, Jamie, have been married twenty years and have eight children: Philip, Matthew, James, Grace, Lilly, Phoebe, Joshua, and Caleb.  He loves to spend time with his wife and family.  He has a heart for equipping families to grow and be nurtured by the Scriptures in a loving Christ-filled home.  He brings a strong desire to see Jesus’ name glorified here and abroad and that comes out in his heart for evangelism and missions.  David received his undergraduate degree from Old Dominion University and his Masters of Divinity with Biblical Languages from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Jeff and his wife, Lauren, began their ministry at Bethel in June 2006.  He graduated with a B.A. from Christopher Newport University, and is currently completing a Master of Divinity degree from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.  Jeff enjoys playing the guitar and reading.  He looks forward to seeing students at Bethel embrace 1 Peter 2:9
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."

Barbara Snyder
Barbara joined our Bethel family in July 2005.  Barbara always says that she couldn't do ministry without the loving support of her husband Henry.  She and Henry have 2 sons, Brian and Jared, and says that she has been blessed with 2 daughters-in-love along with 4 wonderful and beautiful grandchildren.  Her favorite pastimes are cooking and doing home projects with Henry.  Her true passion is children.  "To watch them grow up with a hunger and thirst for God's Word" is her prayer.
