Ralph Mann
Senior Pastor
Born and raised in Texas, I have almost 40 years of pastoral ministry experience. I am married to Verna, and we have five children, but only two are currently under our household – Rebekah and Bethany. We are also blessed with ten grandchildren. Verna holds a Master’s degree in English, and has taught both high school and college English. She currently is teaching English I Pre-AP and English III Dual Credit at Smithson Valley High School. My passion in ministry is Evangelism and Preaching. I hold a Doctor of Ministry degree from Southern Methodist University. My primary duties are preaching and directing the vision and focus of BMC. I have a desire for people to serve the Lord in wherever God is calling them. I currently serve on the Board of Ministry of the Mid-Texas Conference GMC. I spent 8 1/2 years in the Air Force as a Korean Linguist. I am proud to be an Eagle Scout, and was a chaplain at the 2010 Boy Scout National Jamboree. I enjoy camping, golf, riding motorcycles, and flying airplanes (I am a certified flight instructor). Even though I have an adventuresome spirit, I still enjoy a quiet day of soaking in God’s creation with a book under a tree, or a casual conversation with a friend.
Hannah Hedgpeth
Associate Pastor
I am excited to be one of the Associate Pastors here at BMC. I have a wonderful husband, Darrell, and three beautiful girls; Shelby, Emma and Avery. Like many families we are busy with school and activities but we keep God as the main focus in our family. Since becoming a member here in 2001, my family and I have been blessed by this church family and all the areas of ministry to be involved in. I believe we are called to get out of our building and to be the hands and feet of Christ. BMC goes where God calls us – whether that is feeding children in our community, the homeless in San Antonio or loving on others in Peru – BMC is a great place to be and to serve!

I am delighted to be given the opportunity to grow with you as one body in Christ through teachings of the Bible, praying with parents, children, volunteers, teachers, and coworkers in love and righteousness. I was born and raised in a Christian home of which my late parents were both Pastors and founders of Greater Love of Christ Worldwide Mission, Lagos, Nigeria. I grew up participating in children’s choir and attending most church activities, to include children’s ministry and evangelism. I have also worked as a Bible study teacher and was later ordained a Pastor in my late father’s church. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in medicine and surgery from College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Nigeria. And I have a master's degree in theology from Houston Baptist University. I am married to Henry Egerue and we are both blessed with two adorable daughters, Victoria and Destiny. I am joyfully partnering with BMC and the Bulverde community to best support your child in learning, understanding the Bible and holding firm to it as they grow. On behalf of the BMC family, I welcome you to visit and be a part of the family and children’s ministry here. I’d love to meet with you! Proverb 22:6 says, “Direct your children unto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.” I believe in maintaining a happy positive learning environment with your child and I welcome any questions, ideas, and concerns about your child.
JOSHUA HARDIN
Director of Music and Visual Arts
My family and I are thankful for the opportunity to serve here in the hill country. I have been serving in ministry for over 10 years and thank God every day for the opportunity to engage and connect with people. I’m excited to serve with you all and look forward to seeing all that God has for BMC as we continue on this journey. I love good food, the occasional good movie, playing board games, but most of all I love family time with all 6 of my kids hiking, swimming at the river, or the occasional nerf war.
