Meet the Minister
On December 15, 2019, Bethany Beach Christian Church called its new pastor, Rich Plocinski. Pastor Rich is married to his wife, Sherri, and they have three sons - Josh, Jake, and Sam - as well as one grandson, Grayson. Pastor Rich moved to Ocean View, DE in August 2019.
Pastor Rich was active in youth ministry as a counselor, director, and camp coordinator at Nordmont Christian Church in NE Pennsylvania for 15 years. Under his leadership, the camping program grew from 60 to 195 campers. He served as associate pastor at Benton Christian Church (Benton, PA) for two years and pastor at Millville Christian Church (Millville, PA) for 20 years. During his time at Millville, the congregation tripled in size; in addition, he oversaw an expansive building project and began a Christian Kid's Club and a Senior Citizen program at the church.
Pastor Rich is a retired math teacher, having taught at Milton High School in PA - he was bi-vocational as a teacher and preacher for over 25 years. He is very excited and inspired to be called as the next pastor of this church.
