Wade McElveen

Mr. McElveen began service on the Board of Trustees in 1997 and has held leadership positions as Secretary-Treasurer, Chairman of the Board Governance Committee, and Chair of The Cottages Task Force for The Cottages at Bethany Phase I.

Mr. McElveen, longtime member of Lanes Primitive Baptist Church and one of the longest serving board members of Bethany, having served for over 27 years, reflects on the reasons that he feels that Bethany has enjoyed the blessings and generosity of God.

“Our commitment has been to honor God in all that we do. We have acted on faith in believing that He would provide a way for us to live out the testament of ‘caring for the widows’ as taught in the book of James, and we have done so by creating a distinctively different environment for our Residents,” he said. “My own Mother-in-law is a resident of Bethany and considers it her home. We believe that our Board and Staff continue to make every attempt to live faithfully into the Mission of Bethany by being Christ-like in our offer of care to everyone who lives there.”
