Leader Bio:
I want to start off by saying “Thank you” for the warm welcome we have received since our announcement and our arrival here in Montana by members of the church as well as Clergy from around the Conference. My family and I truly feel welcome and at home here.
I look forward to meeting many of you in person over the coming weeks; until then, here is a brief opportunity for you to get to know us, at least on paper. Along for the adventure in ministry is my wife of almost 12 years, Mikel, and our two daughters, Zoe (10), Ryann(4) and our son Noah (7). Zoe and Noah are very excited to start school here in Choteau, and Ryann is excited to have the opportunity to be home with Mikel and join me in the office and pastoral visits from time to time.
The Bechtold’s made it to Montana by way of Texas and New Mexico. Mikel and I both grew up in Plainview, TX a small town in the Panhandle between Lubbock and Amarillo. We met while working in youth ministry in 2003 at FUMC in Plainview and were married in the same church in 2005. We spent several years working with youth in Plainview, Tulia, and New Boston, Texas before making our way to New Mexico in 2011 were I was the Executive Director of the New Mexico State Wesley Foundation for 3 years and spent time as an Associate Pastor at FUMC in Hobbs, New Mexico and Associate Pastor at Grace/Tularosa Merger in Alamogordo, New Mexico.
I received my BBA in General Business from New Mexico State University in 2016 and finished my first year working on a Masters of Divinity through the Journey Program at Iliff Theological Seminary. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors, Colorado Rockies baseball, woodworking, playing the guitar and singing with Mikel. I also host a weekly podcast with my friend and colleague Rev Matthew Franks who is a Methodist Pastor in Oklahoma.
As of August 1st, I have been appointed to be the Pastor of Choteau, Brady, and Dutton UMC’s, and as a family, we couldn’t be more excited and eager to be a part of these communities and churches. We feel truly blessed and excited to be called to begin this new adventure in ministry in the Yellowstone conference and look forward to working with each of you in the future.
“Love, Pray, Give and Rejoice!”

Teach me
Teach me, O God, to use all the circumstances of my life to-day that they may bring forth in me the fruits of holiness rather than the fruits of sin. Let me use disappointment as material for patience: Let me use success as material for thankfulness: Let me use suspence as material for perseverance: Let me use danger as material for courage: Let me use reproach as material for longsuffering: Let me use praise as material for humility: Let me use pleasures as material for temperance: Let me use pains as material for endurance.
