Dan Betters

y name is Dan Betters. I am the lead preaching pastor of Stone’s Throw Church which I helped to plant. This church began with the help of many people and continues to move forward because many people understand the mission and vision. I am glad to be a part of it. My wife and I married in 2000. We now have five children. My wife has been my pastor through my seminary education, licensing and ordination study, and planting this church. I love my family dearly. All of my children are a great blessing to me and I love spending every minute possible with them. We enjoy the ministry together. I began full time ministry in 1998 immediately following my graduation from the University of Delaware. I began work in full time ministry as the Youth Pastor at the Glasgow Reformed Presbyterian Church in Bear, DE. In 2004 I started taking seminary seriously and enrolled with Reformed Theological Seminary and would eventually graduate in 2008. While pursuing my seminary degree with RTS I was licensed and ordained in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) . I was called and installed as an associate pastor at Glasgow Church and began to preach on a regular basis. In 2009, life changed for me and my family. God had a lot of work to do in my life that he faithfully continues to do to this day. This was the year when our journey to adopt our daughter would lead us to India just 6 weeks after our fourth child was born. We were now the proud parents of an infant, 1-year-old, a 2-year-old, a 3-year-old, and a 6-year-old. We had barely settled in when the Elder of the church where I was serving asked me if I wanted to plant a church in Middletown. Naturally, I said yes, because you know that was the best time to plant a church. It wasn’t easy at home. In retrospect it would have been wise to wait. During the remainder of 2009 God would do a great work of grace in both my heart and my wife’s heart as he prepared us to help launch Stone’s Throw Church. Stone’s Throw Church landed in Middletown in April of 2010, just a few months after we began meeting with leadership and planning the vision. I am so glad to be a part of this church and to be have the opportunity to preach the Gospel each and every week. I look forward to being the pastor of Stone’s Throw Church for as long as God allows.
