Pastor

Reverend Megan Lineberger came to Bethel in June of 2021. She graduated from Lenoir-Rhyne College in 2008 and Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary with a Master of Divinity in 2017. She enjoys working alongside the people of Bethel to share God’s love with the greater White Rock, Chapin, and Irmo areas. It is a joy for her to serve in this area and learn how God is alive and at work in a community with such rich history and roots. Pastor Megan enjoys family and friends, her dogs, running, and sewing.
