Pastors & Staff

Ralph Mann

Senior Pastor 

Born and raised in Texas, I have almost 40 years of pastoral ministry experience. I am married to Verna, and we have five children, but only two are currently under our household – Rebekah and Bethany. We are also blessed with ten grandchildren. Verna holds a Master’s degree in English, and has taught both high school and college English. She currently is teaching English I Pre-AP and English III Dual Credit at Smithson Valley High School. My passion in ministry is Evangelism and Preaching. I hold a Doctor of Ministry degree from Southern Methodist University. My primary duties are preaching and directing the vision and focus of BMC. I have a desire for people to serve the Lord in wherever God is calling them. I currently serve on the Board of Ministry of the Mid-Texas Conference GMC. I spent 8 1/2 years in the Air Force as a Korean Linguist. I am proud to be an Eagle Scout, and was a chaplain at the 2010 Boy Scout National Jamboree. I enjoy camping, golf, riding motorcycles, and flying airplanes (I am a certified flight instructor). Even though I have an adventuresome spirit, I still enjoy a quiet day of soaking in God’s creation with a book under a tree, or a casual conversation with a friend.

Hannah Hedgpeth

Associate Pastor

I am excited to be one of the Associate Pastors here at BMC. I have a wonderful
husband, Darrell, and three beautiful girls; Shelby, Emma and Avery. Like many families we are
busy with school and activities but we keep God as the main focus in our family. Since becoming a
member here in 2001, my family and I have been blessed by this church family and all the areas of
ministry to be involved in. I believe we are called to get out of our building and to be the hands and
feet of Christ. BMC goes where God calls us – whether that is feeding children in our community,
the homeless in San Antonio or loving on others in Peru – BMC is a great place to be and to serve!

Alex Clary 

Youth Ministry Director 

My name is Alex Clary, and I am excited to have the privilege to serve as the new
Youth Ministry Director. My wife Miranda and I moved to Texas from Columbia, South Carolina, and have been in
San Antonio for about two and a half years. We love Texas! Miranda and I love to cook, spend time with our dogs, and find a good show to watch. I am a massive sports fan, and I am always willing to talk football and basketball! Jesus has great things in store for our youth, and I am excited to explore it together as we Build, Grow, and Send for the Kingdom of God.

Tiffany Gibbons

Child’s Morning Out Preschool Director 

I was born and raised in San Diego, CA and have lived in the Texas Hill Country since 2005.
 I graduated from Salem State University in Massachusetts with a teaching degree and a degree
 in American Studies. My passion is education and I feel very blessed to be a part of BMC’s Child’s
Morning Out Program. I began teaching at CMO in 2011 and became CMO Director in 2012.  I have
two children, Tyler and Madison, who have had the privilege of attending CMO. My husband Tim and
I have been married since 2005. We enjoy spending time with family, anything outdoors, and traveling. 

Vicki Harwell

Church Administrator 

I feel blessed every single day that
I get to spend time doing ministry with the wonderful people of BMC.  My husband’s
name is Fred and we have five wonderful children, eight grandchildren and and one great-grandchild.  Living in the
Texas Hill Country fulfills a lifelong dream. As my husband says, “The Hill Country is God’s gift to
Texas”.  We enjoy long drives down the back roads to take in the tranquil scenery and visit the small
town antique and “junk” stores. It is my pleasure to serve our Lord and Savior by serving the BMC
congregation.  Please do not hesitate to come visit me or call me if there is anything I can do for you.

Linda Reynolds

Administrative Assistant 

I have been blessed to be a part of the BMC staff as Administrative Assistant
since 2006. I help with contributions, attendance, membership records, finances and small
ministries. Don, my husband for over 40 years is anxiously awaiting retirement from the band and
music business. We have 2 adult children, Clint & Emily, and 4 wonderful grandchildren. We moved
to Canyon Lake in 2004 and absolutely love it here. I love traveling and quality time with my family. 

Lynn Price 

Congregational Care Pastor

Hello! I'm Lynn Price. Getting to serve the Lord at Bulverde Methodist Church in the area of congregational care is truly a blessing for me from God. Jesus has called us to love one another as He has loved us. (John 15:12) Sharing His love and serving those in our church family is a high calling for me.
 
I am a native Texan born in Sweetwater, raised in the Corpus Christi area as a young child, and attended high school in San Antonio at MacArthur High School.  At age 16 while on a youth trip with St. Matthew's Methodist Church, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Life in Christ continued to grow as I completed my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education at McMurry University. Later in life by the grace of God, I attained a master's degree in Gifted Education from Hardin-Simmons University. It was my joy and calling to teach for over 30 years. Upon retirement from Frisco Independent School District, I returned to the San Antonio area where I became a nanny for my twin grandsons and became a member of Bulverde Methodist Church. 
 
Getting to volunteer and serve in our church has been such a blessing! Having worked with the children's ministry on an interim basis led to involvement as a ministry assistant on staff. In June 2023 the position as Lay Pastor of Senior Care became the new direction for service to our Lord at BMC. This position is truly more than just for "seniors" and is an opportunity for outreach and caring interaction with all ages. Interacting with phone calls, emails, texting, cards, and personal visits is a big focus of congregational care. Love and encouragement flow through ministry involvement with Community Cafe, hospitality, church decoration, women's ministries, greeter coordination, facilitation of Grief Share, and other ministries of our church. Glory to God for all He is doing in my life and our congregation.
 
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; 
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.  
I Thessalonians 5:16-18

Josh Hardin 

Music Director

My kids and I are from the great state of South Carolina.   I have 3 beautiful children named Eli, Annabelle and Grace.  I have been serving in ministry for the last 9 years as a Worship Leader and thank God every day for the opportunity to engage and connect with people on and off stage.  I’m excited to serve with you all and look forward to seeing all that God has for BMC as we join you on the journey.  I love good food, the occasional good movie, playing board games, but most of all I love family time with my kids.

Kgun Reddell

Website and Livestream Director

Born and raised in Texas to two young parents.
I have had an affinity for technology since I was young and built up a wide set of skills through self teaching and general curiosity which have now come into play as I work to make BMC's website and livestream something special.
I am blessed for the opportunity to serve for BMC and to help spread their message to build, to grow and to send!

joy egerue

Family and Children’s Ministry Director

I am delighted to be given the opportunity to grow with you as one body in Christ through teachings of the Bible, praying with parents, children, volunteers, teachers, and coworkers in love and righteousness.   I was born and raised in a Christian home of which my late parents were both Pastors and founders of Greater Love of Christ Worldwide Mission, Lagos, Nigeria. I grew up participating in children’s choir and attending most church activities, to include children’s ministry and evangelism. I have also worked as a Bible study teacher and was later ordained a Pastor in my late father’s church.  I graduated with a bachelor's degree in medicine and surgery from College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Nigeria. And I have a master's degree in theology from Houston Baptist University. I am married to Henry Egerue and we are both blessed with two adorable daughters, Victoria and Destiny.   I am joyfully partnering with BMC and the Bulverde community to best support your child in learning, understanding the Bible and holding firm to it as they grow.  On behalf of the BMC family, I welcome you to visit and be a part of the family and children’s ministry here.  I’d love to meet with you!  Proverb 22:6 says, “Direct your children unto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.” I believe in maintaining a happy positive learning environment with your child and I welcome any questions, ideas, and concerns about your child.
