Jill Devitt
Office Administrator
It brings me joy to work at and help the people of Bethany Church.
I have been the Office Administrator since April 2017.
I am married and have 2 children. I enjoy a hot cup of coffee every morning, spending time in my flower garden, and a good nap.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Sioux Falls with a degree in Business and Marketing. I was born and raised in Sioux Falls. I have previously done mission work, and I love working with youth and connecting with students. I have enjoyed the opportunity to help lead worship at Bethany.
