STAFF & LEADERSHIP

Joe Natwick

Joe hails from the snow-covered plains of Fargo, ND. Growing up, he spent summers on Lake Sybil in Minnesota, and split the rest of the year between attending church and cheering for the North Dakota State Bison (pronounced “biZon”).

Gary Schmidt

WORSHIP DIRECTOR
Gary was born and raised in Quebec, the French speaking part of Canada. He attended a small French speaking Mennonite church growing up. At the age of six he told his parents he would be a pianist/musician when he grew up and the rest is history!

Katie Adams

Children’s Ministry Coordinator
Katie Adams, her husband, Mike, and their 8-year-old twins moved to Windsor from Nebraska in the summer of 2020. When they first visited Bethel, they were impressed by the warm welcome, the sense of community and the excitement their kids got from attending youth ministry activities.

Lauren Turk

Middle School and High School Coordinator

Hey, Bethel family!

I’m Lauren, your new Youth Ministry Coordinator. As a lifelong member of our congregation, I’ve had the privilege of watching our church grow and change over the years, and I’m so excited to now be part of that journey in a new way.

Jeff Bakken was born and raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and later settled with his family in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. He has a heart for hospitality, service, and walking alongside people wherever life meets faith.

Anna Wemmerus

OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR
Anna is a Northern Colorado native who left to chase after a cute guy. After she and the love of her life had kids they moved back to Colorado to raise them near their tribe. They have been in Windsor for 12 years, so it all worked out okay!
