Evelyn Bennally, is the current Pastor of Sanostee Christian Reformed Church. Before she decided to head women’s ministry and open new opportunities for women leadership and pastoral care, she was a dedicated educator for the Navajo local schools serving 100% Native American children. She served as a teacher for Rehoboth Christian School and various Bureau of Indian Education schools. Her educational encouragement stems from her father’s belief and work in the local Sanostee community chapter governance and bureau school. Her mother’s consistent and strong faith to one God has been instilled to her continuance of sharing God’s word for the current community members. Her knowledge gained from Reformed Bible College and Calvin University has indeed intrigued her love for bible knowledge and application. Lastly, Evelyn Bennally is the proud wife to LDN graduate and support pastor, Mr. Willie J. Bennally, mother to 4 wonderful children, grandmother to 6 amazing grandsons (1 whom entered the heavenly realms) and 2 beautiful granddaughters. She comes with a humble heart to share her passion of teaching others as well as pastoring with genuine love for the people.
