About Ray
Pastor. Missionary. Dad. Maker of things.
Ray Rhoton spent thirteen years as a missionary and church planter in Costa Rica and Panama, and has pastored Bethel Community Church in Yukon, Oklahoma since 2015. He and Kristi have two kids. Everything here comes from one conviction: you don't have to stop being afraid to walk forward. You just have to know Who's walking with you.
