Our Bethel Staff
Lead Pastor
pastoramy@bethelwahpeton.com
My name is Pastor Amy Eisenmann, and I joined the staff of Bethel in November of 2024.
I have previously served calls in Cedar Falls, IA. Thompson, ND, Sioux Falls, SD, and Palo, MN.
I appreciate working with all age groups as well as learning and growing together. I have a passion for helping people discover their gifts and find ways to use them, as well as caring for those on the margins, and helping to remind them that they are beloved, forgiven, children of God!
My immediate family is my 2-year-old Cavachon Adalee who keeps me very busy! The rest of my family lives in the Twin Cities. I have one brother who has four young adults, and spending time with my nieces and nephews is my favorite thing to do. I also enjoy playing guitar, writing poetry, reading, and sharing a cup of coffee or tea with friends.
I would love to get to know you, learn about your hobbies and passions and hear about your family. Let’s set up a time to get together for coffee or lunch or just to get to know each other better!

Director of Youth & Family Ministries

Hi, I’m Lisa Bassingthwaite, Director of Children, Youth, and Families at Bethel Lutheran Church.
I feel called to serve and love creating opportunities for people of all ages to experience God’s love and grace. Whether it’s planning youth trips, organizing Wednesday/Sunday School, or coming up with creative projects, my goal is to make faith come alive in everyday life.
My favorite saying is “There’s grace for that.” It’s inspired by my favorite Bible verse, Ephesians 2:8:
“For it is by grace you have been saved through faith – and this is not from your own doing; it is a gift of God.”
I’m married to my high school sweetheart, Mike, and we have three amazing kids—Jenna, Rachel, and Carson. We also have one granddaughter named Lillian! When I’m not at church, you’ll probably find me at the lake enjoying the beauty of God’s creation. I also love diet coke and cheering on the Green Bay Packers.
