Church staff
Welcome
Thank you for visiting this page! My name is Casey Butner, and I hope to meet you face to face someday. God has called me to serve Him at Beulah Baptist Church, and we are excited to be a part of His work in the western part of Orlando. My lovely bride, Christy, is the best, and we have four children. Their names all start with “A” so we affectionately call them our “A-team.” Please come see us some Sunday. We look forward to meeting new people!
You might want to know some of my background? Well, after 10 years of owning a business, God called me to preach! I sold it all for His call on my life! From there God guided me to earn an associate degree in preaching from Fruitland Baptist Bible College, a bachelor’s in ministry from The Baptist College of Florida, a master’s in theology from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and a doctorate with a concentration on Pastoral Leadership.

Senior Pastor
Jimmy Freeman
Since receiving Jesus Christ as Savior at the age of 16, Jimmy was mentored by some truly gifted and passionate believers. His first solo as a new believer was the Gaither song, “He Touched Me”, delivered during a Wednesday night Bible Study. Since that day, his life was never the same. Through years of experiencing both trials and blessings, he shared his faith in the One who saved him, kept him, and promised to finish the work He began. He chose to use the gifts God gave him to help lead Believers into a closer walk with Christ. His personal goal is to lift up Jesus in every situation. His passion is to see Jesus touch the lives of every believer through worship. Then His people will be able to touch and reach those who do not know the Savior, Jesus Christ. Jimmy believes that true worship begins in the heart of every child of God and is expressed in various ways through private and corporate acts. Worship can be singing, serving, giving, reading God’s word, or sharing faith with others. God placed a song in Jimmy’s heart that remains with him and drives him to say, ‘It Is Well with My Soul”. Let’s join our hearts in worship and sing that song together, to the glory of God.

After graduating from Boone High School, she went to work for an automotive dealership where she met and married her amazing husband of 52 years.

Prior to becoming a church secretary, Barbara and her husband owned a commercial cleaning business for forty years.

Nelson Fernandez
Although Nelson Fernandez was born in Puerto Rico and raised in Ohio, he is a long-time resident of Winter Garden. He has been happily married to his beautiful wife, Gloria, for 32 years. Together they have raised five children and been blessed with four grandchildren. Before coming to work at Beulah, Nelson worked for Golden Pond Nursing Home Facility for seven years. In his spare time, Nelson enjoys DIY projects at home and working on his acreage in Levy County. Nelson received Christ on November 20, 2004, and so sharing the love of Jesus with others is very important to him. He and Gloria enjoy “sidewalk evangelism”. Simply put, they go for walks in the neighborhood and share the Gospel with anyone they encounter. We are so blessed to have Nelson on our team!
