Our Clergy

The Reverend Susan Bek

Rector

The Rev. Susan Bek serves as the Rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Ventura. She is a motivated and spirit-filled priest who loves her work serving God in Christ and spreading hope and Good News in the world. She lives in Ventura, California with her husband, Jon. They have four children and four grandchildren. Her passions include preaching, teaching, children’s ministries, music, graphic design and wildlife photography. She is proficient in both English and American Sign Language (ASL) and incorporates sign language every time she celebrates the Eucharist. She does this to show that we are committed to welcoming all, even when that means we need to change in order to become more accessible.
