TEGA CAY, SC –The Tega Cay congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a new bishop. Ryan Beauchamp succeeds Danny Deaver who served as the Tega Cay Spiritual Leader for six years.
The Church of Jesus Christ has a lay ministry. Bishops and other local leaders serve voluntarily, without pay, and do so in addition to family, employment, and other community responsibilities. Members do not generally request specific positions. Instead, local leaders extend assignments after seeking guidance from the Lord through prayer. After Beauchamp expressed his willingness to accept this new calling, his name was presented to the Tega Cay congregation for approval.
Bishop Beauchamp lives in Tega Cay with his wife, Chelsea Palmer Beauchamp, and their five children.
Serving with Bishop Beauchamp as counselors, who will help him carry out the responsibility of ministering to the spiritual and temporal needs of the congregation, are Tega Cay residents Jared Simms and Scott Marker.
“I’m apprehensive but feel the Lord’s hands guiding me. I recognize all the good in my life has come through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that only through the Savior can I do what needs to be done and who I need to be for the members in Tega Cay”, said Beauchamp.
The Tega Cay congregation meets at the church located at 1883 Saluda Road in Rock Hill. Visitors are always welcome to join worship services each Sunday at 11:30 a.m.
