Pastor Dan and Nora Ross
Interim Pastors
Dan and Nora Ross are honored to serve as the Interim Pastors of Bethel Assembly of God during this important season in the life of the church.
Dan and Nora previously served at Bethel as Youth Pastors from 1996 to 2001, where they had the privilege of investing in students and building lasting relationships within the church family. After their time in Cape Girardeau, they went on to pastor an Assembly of God church in the St. Louis area from 2002 until 2026, faithfully serving their congregation and community for over two decades.
They have two children, a son and a daughter, along with a wonderful son-in-law and daughter-in-law. Dan and Nora are also the proud grandparents of five beautiful grandchildren, with one more on the way.
They are deeply grateful for the opportunity to return to Bethel and walk alongside the church during this significant time. Dan and Nora look forward to encouraging the congregation, strengthening the church family, and trusting God together for the future He has prepared for Bethel Assembly of God.
