Welcome Pastor & Betts Family!

Please join First Pentecostal Church as we welcome the Betts family to Kansas City.

Pastor Rodney Betts has been full time in the ministry for over 30 years.  He received the Holy Ghost at the First Pentecostal Church of Durham, NC when he was 11 years old and began preaching at age 19.  In 1993 Pastor and Sister Betts planted a home missions church in North Carolina.  God blessed their work and they were able to grow that home missions church to over 170 members.  After transitioning the church in North Carolina, they returned home to Durham where they worked with the First Pentecostal Church as an Associate to Pastor Jonny Godair for 7 years.

After assisting at First Pentecostal Church of Durham, Pastor Betts began to travel around the country, evangelizing and preaching the gospel full-time for over 16 years.  Pastor and Sister Betts have now transitioned their focus to Kansas City. Pastor Rodney Betts assumed Pastorate of First Pentecostal Church of Kansas City on June 14th, 2020 after the retirement of Pastor Terry Mays.

Pastor Rodney Betts and Sister Cindy Betts, daughter of Bishop Johnny Godair, have been married for over 33 years.  They have two wonderful children, Reverend Houston Betts and Sister Aubrey Betts, who are following in their parents’ footsteps, working for the Lord.

The Betts family are thrilled to be in Kansas City.  They believe that God is working in a mighty way and has great things in store for the city and First Pentecostal Church of Kansas City.
