Bethany Hensley

SAS Administrative Assistant

Bethany was born in Gastonia, North Carolina, but her family moved to Florida when she was two years old.  They lived in Florida until she was thirteen and then moved back to Gastonia where she lived until coming to the Ranch in the summer of 2019.  Bethany attended Queen’s University in Charlotte, NC where she received her Bachelor of Arts and Science with a focus in Creative Writing.  She loves storytelling and has had a passion for it since before she knew how to read and write.  Bethany has worked in retail, as a nanny, tutoring elementary schoolers, and at a library.  All of those past jobs have provided her with skills that she now uses at the Ranch as the school administrative assistant.  She also gets to teach Creative Writing, Theatre, and English to the students at the Ranch.

Bethany found out about Wears Valley Ranch through her sister’s roommate’s, obscure Facebook friend’s mom!  Her sister’s friend had posted on Facebook that she was looking for a job working with children, and the mom of one of her friends saw it, told her to talk to her son, and he told her about the Ranch.  Bethany’s sister then told Bethany about it, and the rest is history!

Working at the Ranch has helped solidify truths that Bethany already knew and has equipped her to better spread them.  Every follower of Christ is called to lead others to Christ wherever they go.  Knowing this, no matter where the Lord calls her, Bethany knows that she is commanded to spread His word and minister to people.
