Pastor Jay Bessmer was appointed as the District Secretary in 2015. He is currently the Senior Pastor at Manhattan. Jay began his ministry at Hutch Bethany in September 2011 after relocating from Nebraska with his wife, Sarah, and their five children: TJ, Gracyn, Cailyn, McKenna, and Ashley. He served at Hutch Bethany until 2020, when he accepted the call to pastor at Manhattan.
Pastor Jay graduated from the Ministry Preparation Course of Study and was ordained as an Elder in the Church of the Nazarene. He has a strong desire to positively impact the lives within our community, and he continually seeks more effective ways to reach people for Christ.
