Our Pastor
Pastor Dominic J. Pennachietti was born and raised in South Philadelphia by two Italian immigrant parents. He was converted to Bible Christianity in 1976. He attended Philadelphia College of Bible and Andersonville Baptist Seminary, and graduated in 1984.
Pastor Pennachietti joined Bethel Baptist Church in its early conception in 1979. He left for a 2-year period to plant a church in South Philadelphia with Pastor Dennis Higgins. After the work in South Philadelphia was established, he returned to be the Pastor of the Bethel Baptist Church in the summer of 1982, and has been serving here ever since. During his time here, God has used him to begin a Christian academy, a Bible institute and has sent out men and women to plant inner-city churches and to serve in foreign missions. Pastor Pennachietti is married to Linda and has eight children and many grandchildren.
