BRAD PEARSON
WORSHIP PASTOR
Brad Pearson came to saving faith in Christ in June of 1996, after many years of rebellion and anger against God. He had struggled with depression for many years; in fact, it was this life and death struggle with debilitating depression that drove Brad into the arms of his Savior. He had heard the Gospel many times, having grown up in a Southern Baptist church in Mississippi, and even made a profession of faith at age 8. But when the testing time came, he had failed the test – he was not a follower of Christ. In all of Brad’s years of rebellion, the Lord preserved his life and was mercifully patient with him. When he was broken beyond any hope, He restored Brad’s soul. He gave Brad new life in Christ! It is his joy now to serve the Lord in his life and ministry.
Today, Brad continues to grow in Him, finding more to love each day. Being saved out of depression has given Brad many opportunities to counsel others with similar struggles. Brad joined the staff at South Hill Bible Church in 2015. In His mercy, Brad has been given a wonderful family – a faithful wife and three beautiful daughters.

KARLA ROSHETKO
OFFICE MANAGER
Karla Roshetko is a native of Sandusky, Ohio. She had settled on living the rest of her life near Lake Erie when she met Chet just prior to him leaving for the Air Force. Well, those plans changed. She soon became Mrs. Roshetko and experienced a 27-year, 21-move, globetrotting adventure through 8 states & Germany with four children and included 31 academic years of home school teaching. When the youngest “graduated” to high school, she traded in the classroom for the church office and became the SHBC Office Manager in 2019. In this capacity, she coordinates three pastor schedules, all church activities, crafts/reviews official church correspondence, and regularly communicates with many active church ministries.
Karla has a long resume of serving church and community entities. Currently, Chet and Karla host, in their home, a Young Adult Christian Group each Monday night and a Bible study fellowship group twice a month. In addition, she weekly tracks the life and times of their four children and their families in Hawaii, Nevada, and Wisconsin.
LOIS CHRISTENSEN
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
Lois is thankful to have grown up in a Christian home with loving and supportive parents who taught the importance of faith and family. She is grateful for the wholesome life and warm hospitality that were a part of her childhood home. It was during her junior year while attending a winter youth camp, she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and experienced the sweetness of a personal relationship with Him. After graduation she attended Whitworth College, transferring to Eastern Washington University where she received a teaching degree in Early Childhood Special Education, and met her best friend and husband, Paul. Lois and Paul were blessed with two daughters, raising them in the country, and passing on many of the same traits they themselves grew up with. Sharing hospitality, trying out a new recipe, visiting a thrift shop, reading a historical fiction book, and investing in the lives of her children and grandchildren are activities she takes delight in. Lois counts it a privilege and a blessing to work in the office at SHBC as an Administrative Assistant. She loves serving her church family, sharing life and laughter with co-workers, and seeing the joys and adventures the Lord brings as we faithfully follow Him.
You will make known to me the way of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever. Psalm 16:11
