Mrs. Andrea Keefer, financial secretary, was born in Houston, Texas and became a Christian at the age of 12. She married her husband, Ray, in Houston and then followed him around the globe after he joined the Army. They moved to Palm Bay in 2007 when Ray retired from the Army after serving for 20 years. They have three adult sons: Christopher, Stephen, and John, two adorable long haired German Shepherds, Isabella, and Titan, four grandsons, one granddaughter and one granddaughter on the way. During her time as an Army wife, Andrea completed her associate degree in general studies at Central Texas College while homeschooling her sons and being heavily involved in her boys’ extracurricular activities and her church. After moving to Palm Bay, Mrs. Keefer finished her degree in Information Technology. After their last son finished homeschooling, she headed into the work force and started as a 3^rd grade teacher at Bethany Christian School, which eventually lead to her current position as the financial secretary for all Bethany ministries.
