New Missionaries

by Tim Hewitt

BEM is excited to introduce Ted & Marlene Sutherland,
new missionaries with BEM!

Ted and Marlene first met in 1970 while attending a Christian high school. Both were blessed to be raised in strong, God-centered Christian homes. During his high school years, Ted sensed God’s call to ministry. The couple married in 1976, and Ted later graduated from MBBC in 1983. That same year, he accepted the call to pastor his first church. Over the years, he has served in three pastorates and has been faithfully shepherding Calvary Baptist Church in Golden, Colorado, since 2003.

BEM Small Church Enrichment Conference in Nephi, UT

by Tim Hewitt

At BEM, we believe the local church – no matter its size – was designed by God for ministry. Being a pastor is an incredible blessing, but we also know the weight of shepherding a congregation with limited resources while nurturing your own walk with the Lord.

Our mission is simple: to encourage pastors, churches, and missionaries through preaching, teaching, counseling, and loving care.

One way we do this is through our Small Church Enrichment Conferences. Join us on April 18, 2026, at First Baptist Church in Nephi, UT, for a day of renewal and fellowship. Make it a priority – you’ll be glad you did!
