Beth Spizarny began studying and praying with the Bible during her high school years, and her passion for encountering Jesus in His Word has only grown stronger with time. Beth joined the CBSM team as the Director of Ministry Operations in 2024. She is motivated to empower others to discover the strength, wisdom, and consolation found in the Sacred Scriptures!

An Ann Arbor native, Beth has worked for parishes in both the Diocese of Lansing and the Archdiocese of Detroit for nearly 20 years. She has been responsible for youth ministry, Vacation Bible School, adult evangelization, adult faith formation, RCIA, and small group ministries.

Beth’s favorite Scripture is John 12:24: “unless a wheat grain falls into the earth and dies, it remains only a single grain; but if it dies it yields a rich harvest.”

Beth lives in Farmington Hills and enjoys spending time with her husband and three children, baking bread, running, and reading.

Fun Fact: Beth spent a year serving with Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India!
