My name is Kevin Neth and my family participates in the body of Christ through fellowship in the Berean Bible Church in Broken Bow. I serve through teaching adult Sunday School. God continues to give us opportunities to teach and share his word, and we continue to trust him as we take steps in faith to advance his will and his kingdom.

I accepted God as my Savior when I was a young child. I was sitting next to my mother on the floor while she folded laundry, asking questions about a Sunday School lesson I heard earlier that morning.  With the warmth of a caring mother who loved Jesus, she shared the need I had for a savior.  She explained that I had broken God’s rules and there were consequences to my actions.  She shared with me that Jesus had already suffered the punishment in my place and that only through Him could I have a relationship with God. I don’t have a great memory, and I don’t recall much about that stage of my life, but I remember that day very well. After confessing my sins, asking for forgiveness, and trusting that Jesus had paid the price in my place, I hurried outside to tell my father the good news! I was given a new identity and a new family. In the following years God used his word and his people to guide, shape, and strengthen my faith.

My family diligently raised me in the church. I had God honoring teachers who explained the word of God. I met my best friends through the church, boys who would become godly men. They challenge me in my walk with the Lord. I met my wife Jamie through the church. My wife and I are both teachers at Arnold Public Schools. As a result of God’s grace in our lives, we have raised our three children not just in the church, but in prayer and the truth of scripture.  Our oldest, Gracie (19) is in college. Malachi (17), the middle child will be a senior in high school and the youngest, Parker (12) will be a seventh grader. In my free time, I enjoy listening to John MacArthur sermons and Christian rap. 

I am very excited to teach at Merritt Youth Retreat and to see the Lord move in everyone’s lives! See you there!
