Hugh King
Lead Pastor
Pastor Hugh, a native of Western Pennsylvania, came to Vero Beach 27 years ago. In that time, he has lead VBFN through tremendous growth and change, although he would be quick to point out that he is just a steward of God's church and it is God who promised, "I will build my church." Through his innovative leadership and desire to follow God no matter what, VBFN is helping more families than ever before. Which, in turn (according to Pastor Hugh), just means that God is blessing us so we can help even more people.

Stephanie Watson
Kids Life Pastor
Stephanie graduated college with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and taught in the public school system. She will tell you that there always was a nagging feeling in the back of her mind that God had something more, something different. In 2011, God called her to move into elementary education within the church. Since she became our Kids Life and New Life Director, we have reached a whole new level in our outreach. She has founded Grade Aid Tutoring (a low cost tutoring program), a homework center, Vero Beach Academy a homeschool co-op (Grades Pre K-6th) that provides a new approach to student education and Tuesday after school clubs.

Bethany Silvas
Worship Leader
During college, Bethany traveled on weekends with a PR group leading music at churches all throughout the Southeast United States. She has found her way back home - where she grew up - to lead us each Sunday morning. Bethany puts forth great effort and prayer throughout the week in preparation for Sunday morning. Nothing is left to chance and nothing is insignificant. Through her commitment to leading and praying, VBFN is a richer church.
