Elder Wydermyer was lost with only one hope until March 1st, 1990, when God poured out his spirit on him. On that same day, he was joined in Holy Matrimony to a very special woman, Lady Marilyn, who serves and supports him in every way. God has blessed them with five healthy, beautiful children and three grandchildren.
Once saved, he began working in the church and one-day the late District Elder Joseph Turner appointed him, at the age of twenty-two, to serve on the Deacon Board and once his hand was placed on the gospel plow he has not looked back. In September of 1995, God called him to the ministry. Elder Wydermyer is licensed and ordained by the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, INC. (PAW) to preach the Gospel.
Elder Wydermyer has served as Program Chairman and treasurer for the Northern Regional Pentecostal Young People’s Union (PYPU). He was elected July 2004 for the State of California PYPU President where his term ended in July 2007. He also served as the Program Director of the International PYPU Department and West Coast Regional Director (Region 6) until God called him for such a time as this to Pastor Bethel Temple Pentecostal Church in September of 2009. Elder Wydermyer continues to hold the office of Treasurer and sits on the Executive Bishop’s Board for the California District Council of the 16th Episcopal District, PAW. On February 5th, 2010 before countless supporters and Bethel Temple Church family, Elder Wydermyer was installed as Pastor of Bethel Temple Pentecostal Church by the honorable Bishop Noel Jones.
While he has served faithfully and diligently in the ministry he has also touched the lives of many, fostering relationships and leading others to Christ. He does this the same way that God called him, with loving-kindness. The hallmark of his ministry is that he places God first and foremost in his life and leads by example always taking the time to explain the word of God to those who do not have an understanding. The compassion that he possesses come because the unconditional love of God has been poured into his heart and embedded in his spirit. His example comes from Jesus where he loves the sinner and not the sin.
