Pastor Eddie Breen
T. Daniel “Eddie” Breen, Pastor of Bethlehem Methodist Church.
Eddie is a Texas native by way of Connecticut and Minnesota. Playing hockey and then football, he grew up learning the value of community and cooperation. Moving back to Texas in 1999, he became active in a community theatre his grandparents worked to build. It was there he met his wife Anya and raised their seven children. Prior to his call into ministry in 2015, he worked in a small town pharmacy as a technician. Coming to Bethlehem Methodist Church marked the end of his twenty years working at that job serving his small Texas area in many facets.
The Breen family has traveled throughout North Carolina for the last fifteen years, and Pastor Eddie is thrilled to now call Davie County home. The opportunity the fulfill his mother’s promise that he would serve in ministry is a blessing beyond measure, and he welcomes all to come and seek God through scripture here at Bethlehem Methodist Church.
Peggy Nuckolls, Director of Music Ministries
I have been singing for the Lord since I was five years old through church musicals, worship services and music ministries. I went to college to become a music educator when I joined the Wesley Foundation and became a Worship Leader of the music.
I realized the "theater" life was not for me and that I was being called into a different direction with the musical talent God had given me. My Dad always said "remember who you are" every time we parted ways while in college and this weighed heavy on my mind as I traveled my journey to find "who I was" through Jesus Christ.
Once I found the Wesley Foundation my first year in college I knew God wanted me to use the talents he gave me to help lead His people in Worship. Once I graduated from ASU with a degree in Family and Consumer Education and a minor in music I went back to singing in my home church with my new husband who still sings with me today at Bethlehem. God gave me strength to leave my home church and travel to Bethlehem where I found a new home in Christ as I responded to his call to Worship.
My hope is that the music I lead and sing brings others closer to Christ and that together we can make a joyful sound.
“I Sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord.” - Psalm 27:6
