Board Committees

Much of the decision-making work of many boards is managed through committees. Most boards have committees because smaller groups can work more efficiently and less formally.

What is a Board Committee supposed to do?

The role of a Board Committee is to prepare recommendations for the board, decide that a matter doesn’t need to be addressed by the full board, and advise and/or in some cases, take on a significant project. Committees can have both board members and non-board members. Having non-board members on committees invites specialized expertise from people who may not have time to serve on the board, or individuals who may be inappropriate for full board membership.

JAMES BENSON

James Benson is a son of the soil having been born and raised in Seaford, Delaware. He was a very active and energetic youth along with his five brothers.

Once he relocated to Wilmington life had its ups and downs but it was God’s plan that he would meet members of the AIDS Task Force, especially Livingston Lee and Rev. Keith Johnson through Bethel’s Sunday Breakfast. Soon he would become a AIDS Task Force volunteer and once Beautiful Gate was established, he became an AmeriCorps member and later a peer outreach worker.

While serving as an AmeriCorps member he met and fell in love with a fellow member, Irma Giles. They were married at Bethel in 2005 and they are often teased about finding love at Beautiful Gate.

James joined the Bethel AME Church Family in 1996. His helpful spirit led him to become a part of the Bethel Sexton Team. He is one in whom you can depend on and recently has been elected as a Trustee.

James has a heart for God’s people and brings a spirit of dedication as a soldier in the army of the Lord.

REV. DR. STANLEY HEARST II

Rev. Dr. Stanley Hearst II was appointed pastor of Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, DE on November 13, 2021, at the First District Fall Convocation by Bishop Julius Harrison McAllister, Sr. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Rev. Hearst is the son of Brenda Hearst and the Reverend Dr. Stanley Hearst, Sr. – Pastor of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church of Moorestown, New Jersey. A graduate of Penn State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Rehabilitation Services, he received his Master of Divinity Degree from Payne Theological Seminary in Wilberforce, OH, and his Doctor of Ministry degree from United Theological Seminary in Dayton, OH. He has also completed four units of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA, where he served as a Chaplain Intern and Chaplain Resident.

At the 196th Session of the Philadelphia Annual Conference Rev. Hearst was elected and ordained an Itinerant Deacon by Bishop Richard Franklin Norris. The next week Rev. Hearst was assigned to his first pastoral charge, St. Paul AME Church, Waynesboro, PA. At the 197th Session of the Philadelphia Annual Conference under the leadership of Bishop Gregory G.M. Ingram, Rev. Hearst was elected and ordained an Itinerant Elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. On June 15, 2013, Bishop Ingram appointed Rev. Hearst the pastor of Historic Jones Tabernacle AME Church, Philadelphia, PA. Dr. Hearst’s pastoral tenure is credited with the spiritual, financial, and administrative resurgence of Historic Jones Tabernacle. While there, numerous renovations were completed within the historic edifice. The Historic Jones Tabernacle family also hosted the 2014 Philadelphia Annual Conference Advent Service, and the 2015 West Main-Line District Church School Convention. New ministries were birthed in the church including the Social Media & Web Ministry and National Prayer Line, along with the revival of dormant ministries, including the Social Action Ministry, Class Leaders Council, Women’s Ministry, and the Lay Organization, which had over 50 members by the end of his administration. Most importantly, during his four-year tenure, many people of all ages were saved, joined the church, and were baptized into the family of God.

In 2017 Rev. Hearst was transferred to the New Jersey Annual Conference and assigned to Mt. Pisgah AME Church. Within the first three months of his administration Pastor Hearst and the Board of Trustees led the church in the first phase of the “Renovating The Mount 2020” campaign. Over $100,000 dollars, raised from various sources, was initially spent on restoring our edifice. Upgrades included: a new roof, the pastor’s suite (including new doorway access to the administrate wing), an expanded administrative office, an expanded bathroom off the sanctuary, complete painting of the sanctuary, and installation of a chair lift from

first floor to lower level. The renovations continued over the years with new doors and a complete upgrade of our audio-visual system.

Rev. Hearst believes in serving this present age, and in utilizing technology to the glory of God. Under his leadership Mt. Pisgah added an online giving option that brought new givers into the fold, and the church also began to live-stream their worship services in 2019. Because of this, Mt. Pisgah was able to transition to a Virtual Worship Experience during the COVID-19 Pandemic which started in early 2020.

In the four-and-a-half years under his leadership, Mt. Pisgah grew spiritually, financially, and numerically. Tithes and offerings increased, 10 members gave their initial sermons and started their ministry journey, many baptisms took place, 134 new members joined, and 74 people gave their lives to Jesus Christ.

In 2020 Rev. Hearst was appointed to the Board of Trustees of Payne Theological Seminary by Bishop Gregory G.M. Ingram. In 2021 at the 51 st Quadrennial Session of the General Conference in Orlando, Florida, Rev. Hearst was elected to serve as the Youth Minister Representative to the General Board. He serves on the Executive Committee, Statistics and Finance Commission, and Social Action Commission of the General Board.

While serving at Jones Tabernacle, Rev. Hearst met the then Melanie Bryant, at the 1st District Fall Convocation. She was singing in the Young Adult choir, and after the worship service they connected reciting lyrics to a popular song. Some months later a friendship formed, and Rev. Hearst and Sis. Bryant worked together in ministry feeding the hungry around Thanksgiving 2014. God had more than a friendship in the plans, and on May 6, 2017, they were married at Mt. Tabor AME Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They are the proud parents of a daughter, Shia Janae Hearst, born September 11, 2020.

While he loves serving as a pastor, Rev. Hearst knows that his first ministry is to his family, and then the church. Each day Rev. Hearst strives to live his favorite Scripture, “He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8)?” This Scripture has driven Rev. Hearst to passionately, consistently, and prophetically speak truth to power concerning issues of Social Justice like the mass incarceration of African American Males. Rev. Dr. Stanley Hearst II is simply a servant seeking to do the work of the Lord.
