2022 Leadership Team
Pastor Carl Neilsen
Carl served Bethel Lutheran Church since 1997 then retired. He loves God and wants others to experience the peace that God desires for all people. Blessed with a wonderful wife, Susan, and two children, 1 grandchild, and good health, he wants to be a blessing to others. Serve Santa Maria began as an idea after Carl took some high school youth to a national youth event (38,000 kids and chaperones) in New Orleans, and has grown into something much greater than he could have imagined.
