JACOB SPILKER JOINS BETHANY COLLEGE ADVANCEMENT TEAM

“We are very pleased to have Jacob Spilker join our team. Through his work with Camp Tomah Shinga, Jacob is the perfect person to help grow the exciting partnership between Bethany College, the congregations of the CSS, and Camp Tomah Shinga,” said Clair Oleen, Interim Vice President for Institutional Advancement.

“I am very excited to be a part of the growth that is happening at Bethany College and getting the chance to further connections to Camp Tomah Shinga, the Central States Synod, and Bethany College. It has been wonderful to see the partnership that has developed over the past few years from Bethany students on the Tomah Shinga summer ministry team, to the addition of “Bethany Gardens” at camp. I look forward to swapping stories from time spent at our dear ole Bethany and to grow lifelong relationships,” said Spilker.

Spilker and his wife Megan reside in Manhattan, KS.
