Bethel Worship Center Pastoral Staff

The Pastors

Senior Pastors Michael & Robbi Henson

Senior Associate Pastor

Gary & Sharon Dalton

Gary Dalton has been a pastor at Bethel Worship Center in Marion, Indiana—he has been deeply involved in the spiritual formation of others for over thirty years.

Church has long been a place to replenish one’s faith in God and find a sense of purpose and direction in life.

And at Bethel Worship Center (BWC), Pastor Gary and his wife, Sharon, have given their lives to empower others to live for God. The signature of their ministry is in stirring people to find, strengthen and develop personal potential in conjunction with spiritual growth.

At BWC, members are taught: “unity at all cost”, “we are a team” and “never give up” they encouraged members to apply divine inspiration in realizing their full potential for achievement and for leadership of others in spiritual, professional, community and economic endeavors. The church’s purpose is exemplified in its defining message — “Every Believer A Leader.”

This approach has been steadily refined and expanded since the church started Life Groups in 2004. “The pulpit we preach from is merely what we use to inspire and encourage the congregation with the message that, ‘wherever you work and whatever you do, that is where your ministry is”.

And why is Pastor Gary so passionate in preaching that message in his sermons to the members at BWC?

Because the Dalton’s are personally well-versed on the rigors of searching and struggling to find and fulfill God-given potential. Their spiritual journey originated here at Bethel Worship Center. After graduating from high school, Pastor Gary started working for BWC remodeling the public school they had purchased and then building the current facility. I had no desire to minister to people at that time in my life. The turning point in my life came when Sharon who loved everyone was trying to get me to go with her to a church events said something that altered my life. Sharon looked at me after trying to get me to go with her to a party and said “I am going to pray that God will give you a love for people like I have”. As she spoke those words, they pierced the hardness of my heart and were like seeds in fertile ground. I had a personal encounter with God that gave me a love for people that I cannot put in words to this day. Besides giving my life to God, my greatest pleasure is seeing others receiving salvation, knowing that their life will never be the same.

Meanwhile, Sharon Dalton (Sister Sharon as she is affectionately called) is a strong influence in much of BWC’s growth. Along with her ministering in life groups, she is also a motivational teacher, prayer warrior and intercessor.

Having met at Bethel Worship Center in Marion, Gary and Sharon soon married and started a family of two children — sons Nathan and Todd Dalton. Both sons minister at BWC and love people with a double portion anointing.

 “At Bethel Worship Center, everything — is geared developing the whole person (spirit, soul, body) to fulfill God’s call in their lives.
