CHURCH STAFF

Hi! My name is Doug Butte. I joined the Bethlehem staff as the IT Director in the spring of 2015. I’ve been tinkering around with computers and networks since 2002. Prior to that, I served as a classroom teacher and a youth ministry director before making my shift into the IT field. I grew up in rural Nebraska and attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.  I married and moved with my new bride to St. Louis, Missouri, where I completed a seminary degree and where we began a family. We moved to the Denver area in 2012. Outside of doing IT tasks, I enjoy coaching high school cross country/track and field teams, spending time with my wife and three kids, and being active outdoors.

Barb started at Bethlehem in 2021.  She has extensive experience at the controller/CFO level, primarily with financial institutions and non-profit organizations. She is a stable presence in organizations going through change.  She believes in looking for opportunities to collaborate, implement process improvements, encourage diversity and inclusion, and always working to find win-win solutions.  While at Bethlehem she has made many process improvements in the Accounting Department.  Barb enjoys spending time with her family and friends, studying Bible prophecy, cooking, home improvements, and going on walks with her dog, Sierra.  Her favorite Bible verse is Esther 4:14 -  For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

Hi I'm Pastor David Dyer. I was the Vicar from August 2001 through July 2002 and then called as the Associate Pastor in June 2003 through January 2007. I am most proud of my kids who have a shared appreciation and love of all things adventuring in the outdoors. In addition, I love that my kids have a heart for caring and sharing Jesus’ love with others. My favorite part of being on the Bethlehem team is that I enjoy everyone’s different background and experience which brings a balance to our team approach to reaching the lost. 1 Corinthians 2:2, “For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you but Jesus Christ and him crucified."

Scott Fischer is a Colorado native who grew up in the Bethlehem community. He enjoys all things outdoors and loves being in nature. He and his wife have three kids who are also excited to be Bobcats. They love to go camping and try to catch a Rockies or Rapids game whenever they can. At the root of it all, Scott is just a broken sinner in need of a Savior. Through the love of Jesus, he can see new mercy every day and live and enjoy life. His goal and desire are to unite his love of kids, people, and sports to help create disciples that create disciples. 

My name is Sherry Glaubitz and I work in the Finance Department. I have worked in church and school ministries for twelve years, and at Bethlehem since 2010. Prior to that, I worked in Corporate America and then took off about four years to stay home with my son until he started school. I love providing accounting support to our wonderful school families, congregation members and our awesome staff at Bethlehem! Parents call me the “money lady”. I am always happy to talk to families about financial options to help them with their school tuition. My son, Tyler, is a Bethlehem graduate and I can personally attest to the fabulous teachers and the outstanding academics at Bethlehem. I am married to my husband, Chris, who is a commercial HVAC project estimator. I enjoy traveling, decorating, going to my son’s football games and spending time with my family!

Hi! My name is Mirah Ingram. I joined the Bethlehem staff as the Church Office Manager in May of 2022. Prior to that, I worked as both a Preschool teacher and Assistant Coordinator of all  Youth and Teen programs for the City and County of Broomfield. I was raised in Oklahoma and moved to Colorado with my husband in 2001. We have three boys and two dogs that we love dearly. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, reading, and spending time with family and friends. 

Hi, my name is Sarah and I’m the HR Manager here at Bethlehem.  I have three boys - all of whom attend school here, and a baby girl.  I have been here since August of 2021, and I’m truly blessed to be a part of this beautiful community. I love working at Bethlehem and serving the team here, I value caring for employees and elevating their success.

My name is David. For a brief time in high school I was 'Dave', but that was a phase. First and foremost you need to know I am a sinner who has been cleansed by the blood of Jesus. I believe my life is fully in him. I feel good about my training to be a pastor. However, my heart's desire is to simply be a servant of Christ, used by him to help people experience fullness of life in him. Sometimes I think I’m smart. Sometimes I think I’m funny. But I count all of this as a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ and being found in him. My favorite book of the Bible is Romans, and if you have to pin me down, my favorite chapter is Romans 8. Personally, I think this matters more than knowing I’m from Minnesota, or that I was graduated from Lutheran schools starting with elementary school. Curiosity might lead you to ask about my wonderful wife, Lynn, my four children and their children, but I would probably exaggerate about their greatness and how helpful would that be? If you really want to know other positions I’ve held, honors I’ve received, etc., you can ask and I will try to remember. But when you walk away from our conversation, this is what I want you to remember about me – I am a sinner who has been cleansed by the blood of Jesus and I believe my life is fully in him. And if, in my contact with you, some of this rubs off on you, and you share the same perspective with greater conviction, I will count it a blessing.

Hey. Hi there. It's me, Peter. I have been a member at Bethlehem my whole life, and played piano nearly as long. My absolute favorite things in my life are my wife and three daughters, followed closely by anything music related. It is a blessing to be able to serve the ministry at Bethlehem with music. I greatly enjoy working with all the delightful human beings on staff here at Bethlehem. Besides music, I spend my time with video games and catching snakes for my daughter. That is all. Peace and love.

Martin joined the accounting team at Bethlehem on February 1, 2022. Prior to joining the accounting team, Martin was a tax accountant specializing in sales tax and property tax for a large telecommunications company. He has a bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Metropolitan State College. In addition to his accounting abilities, Martin also has the necessary CDL license to drive the church school bus and is the designated school bus driver for Bethlehem. Martin has always been active in the church. Prior to graduating high school, Martin played the piano for the Sunday School children and for special evening worship services at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Commerce City. He and his wife were active at Peace Lutheran Church in Arvada for many years prior to attending Bethlehem serving as Sunday school superintendents , youth counselors, and choir members. At Bethlehem, they are active with the shower trailer operations and other programs associated with
helping the homeless.

Hi, I’m Sandy and I’ve been around Bethlehem awhile. Some might consider it a long time, but I consider it a joy! I’ve had the opportunity to start my ministry here in Children’s Ministry in the early 80s, work in Assimilation, Small Groups, and our Early Learning Center to name a few areas! I love to create the vision for a ministry, get it going, and when it is chugging along, well… I like to move on to the next thing! I’m so grateful that there have always been ministries at Bethlehem that I get to move on to. Currently, I do all things Discipleship. We are creating a Discipleship Pathway that causes people to embark on the journey of sharing life with others and growing closer to Jesus Christ. It’s fun, it’s big and I hope you will join us on the pathway!

Hi, I’m Pastor Tim. I’ve been a part of the Bethlehem family my entire life, 61 years and counting! Born, raised, and educated at Bethlehem’s day school, I went on to high school and then to college in the Denver area. I graduated from the Colorado School of Mines with a Master’s degree in Physics and worked for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for 37 years. I retired from NREL in 2018 and became part of a small company that develops large scale solar power technology. Several years ago, I felt a pull to the ministry and so went back to school as a student at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri. In early 2016, I was ordained and called as a pastor here at Bethlehem. My wonderful wife Sandy, whom I met here at Bethlehem 37 years ago also serves here at Bethlehem as our Director of Discipleship. As a part-time pastor, my main ministry areas are pastoral care and visitation, Bible teaching and Senior ministry. I also sing with our contemporary worship teams. In my spare time I spend time with my wife, my extended family and golf. There is a reason I have been at Bethlehem my entire life. By God’s grace, this wonderful Christ centered faith community has been and will continue to be my extended family for years to come.  I pray it can be yours as well. May you find the love and gifts of Christ here at Bethlehem!
