Welcome to Bethany Community Church!
I’m so glad you’ve taken a moment to visit our website—welcome! Whether you’re new to the Christian faith, searching for a church to call home, or simply exploring who Jesus is, I want you to know that you are truly welcome here.
My name is Pastor Jean Féder St. Juste, and I have the joy of serving as senior pastor here at BCC. I was born and raised in Haiti and became a born-again Christian on January 8, 1978. Before coming to the United States, I served in various leadership roles for twelve years at my first home church, Bolosse Baptist Church in Haiti. After moving to the U.S., I continued my ten-year ministry at the Baptist Church in Brooklyn, NY.
In December 2005, I accepted the call to serve as senior pastor at BCC, having previously served for five years as pastor of the Haitian Tabernacle of Louisville. I’m a graduate of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary with an Advanced Master of Divinity in Theology (Adv. MDiv.) and a Bachelor of Science in Science and Biblical Studies from Boyce Bible College in Louisville, Kentucky. I also studied psychology at the Faculty of Human Sciences in Haiti.
In 1994, I married my longtime friend, Lamercie. God has blessed us with three wonderful children: Fayenja, Noah, and Calvin.
As you explore our website, I encourage you to learn more about who we are, what we believe, and how you can be a part of the mission God has given us. From passionate worship and sound biblical teaching to community outreach and international missions, BCC is where faith comes alive.
We believe the church is more than a building—it’s a family. And here at BCC, there’s always room at the table for you. We would love to welcome you in person if you’re in the area. And if you’re visiting us online, please know you are already part of our extended family.
Thank you again for stopping by. May God bless you abundantly as you continue your journey of faith.
In Christ’s love,
Pastor Jean Féder St. Juste
Senior Pastor, Bethany Community Church
