Meet Our Staff
Reverend Susan Pennock
Susan was newly appointed to Bethany UMC to begin serving in July 2021. She is a graduate of Francis Marion University where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. Upon graduation from college, she married Chet and they lived in various cities across the country. They finally settled in North Carolina where they reared their four children.
After years of lay service leading congregations in response to children impacted by poverty in North Carolina, Susan responded to the call to ordained ministry and completed her masters at Duke Divinity in 2017. She and her husband have returned to her home state of South Carolina where she was ordained an elder in the SCUMC in 2021.
Susan is passionate about following Christ and engaging in relationships that seek to unravel God’s role and plans in our lives, the life of the church, and the world around us. An ardent student and life-long learner, she is committed to both learning and sharing, while remaining attentive to diverse viewpoints. Susan is led by the Holy Spirit in her passion and commitment to the mission of the United Methodist Church: “to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.”

Trace Moser
Praise Band Director and Outreach Ministries I hail from a long line of Charlestonians but spent my growing-up years as an Air Force dependent. I graduated from George Mason University with a B.S. in Education, took a detour, and had a wonderful career in the field of Parks and Rec. Now retired, I enjoy playing music with my husband Stu, volunteering, painting, and spoiling several dogs. After getting a late start in life attending church, I have found a passion for studying God’s Word and am continuously amazed at His blessings. We are always happy to add new musicians and singers to the praise band Rhythm in Pews - come join us! |
