Mike Infanti grew up in Philadelphia. He attended Cardinal Dougherty High School and went to college at Temple University. He moved to Juniata on October 15, 1990. Mike started attending Bethel in January 2000. In May 2000, Mike realized he was separated from God because of his sin and he could do nothing to change that fact. He knew Jesus was the only one who could save him from his sin, so Mike asked Jesus to forgive him and apply His sacrifice to his life. He loves pets and wishes he had dogs or ferrets but living in an apartment limits this. He enjoys watching sports, movies, reading, home improvement, working out, walking, cooking, and volunteering. Teaching and counseling are Mike’s favorite aspect of ministering at Bethel. Currently, he is involved with Philadelphia Educational Services and assists in leading one of Bethel’s Shepherd groups.

Charles Hill Jr. grew up in Juniata Park. Growing up Catholic, he heard a lot about Jesus growing up. However, he never had a relationship with Jesus. He never picked up a Bible to read it or cared to get to know God because he thought he was a pretty good person. Through a good friend, he began to attend the youth group at Bethel Chapel Church. It was through our youth group and camps that he came under conviction of sins and finally gave his life to Jesus in salvation. Charles attended North East High School and is currently studying at Cairn University. Charles works in the medical field. He lives in Juniata with his wife Teresa and their three children. Charles loves working out, reading books, playing video games, and traveling with family. He loves the unity of the Body that we are blessed with here at Bethel. Charles helps lead our Friday Night Youth group ministry and preaches occasionally on Sunday mornings.

Jose grew up in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He attended high school in Puerto Rico and college in California. In the ’60s, he was drafted to fight in the Vietnam War. While in the military at Fort Jackson, SC, Jose attended a church meeting. When the invitation came, he went forward and officially became a Christian. Although the war ended prior to his deployment, God had a greater purpose for his draft. He returned to Puerto Rico where he met his wife, Irma Soto, and they were married in 1980. In 1991, Jose came to Massachusetts to visit family that had moved outside of Puerto Rico. Due to an illness, and the imminent bankruptcy of his employer at the time, Jose looked for a job in the states. Although his search for a job began in Massachusetts, it led him here to Philadelphia. Jose moved to Philadelphia in 1992 along with his wife, Irma, and two children. Both of his children are married. He has eight grandchildren. Jose is semi-retired, enjoys playing Sudoku, taking trips, and reading. He’s been attending Bethel since 1995. He leads a Shepherding group and helps with church maintenance.
