The Kaszynski’s
Kirk and Hollie Kaszynski have been long time members of Bethany. Their three children, Raynor (17), Blaine (13), and Lillian (10) have grown up in the congregation, and as a family, they have enjoyed being involved in many of the ministries here. They have found that what brings the most joy and blessings is to be involved in acts of service and events that bring the church together as a community.
Over the years, Kirk has used his vocal gifts to serve the music ministry in worship. In addition, he has passionately organized Bethany Family Camps in both Arkansas and Colorado. Kirk also enjoys rallying people to do crazy, fun, and muddy events like Rugged Maniac!
Hollie has a passion for hospitality. She has served in the kitchen on Sunday mornings making coffee and breakfast for fellowship, worship, and Bible study. She has also helped organize and lead women’s events like the Women’s Tea. Hollie has a heart for discussing, teaching, and presenting God’s word both in small groups and larger classes.
