Doug Vanderwell
Board president
I’ve been the Executive Director of Camp Roger for 16 years. Previously, I was a mechanical engineer for Extol Inc. in Zeeland, MI. I graduated from Calvin College in 1993.
I am excited to be involved in creating a Christ-centered and Holy Spirit driven leadership culture for Bethel Community Education. The presence of God’s hand in Bethel’s beginning is very clear. It has been a joy to be involved in figuring out how to keep the Holy Spirit at the center of the board room and other leadership conversations. It’s not something that is easy or clear, but I think the pathway to success is in the striving for and seeking of God’s will.
It is also rewards for me to see students thriving at Bethel. Each student is getting what they need to grow and succeed. Students receive the customized support so they do not fall behind of fall between the cracks. I am really excited to see what God is going to do through Bethel. It is all His anyway!
