In the year 1926, Rev. G. J. Martin saw the need for another church in Belmont Heights, Hillsborough County, Tampa, Florida. He, with the help of six members, organized and established a church on Lindell Avenue where the Rev. W. D. McCall served as pastor for one year.
In 1927, Rev. G. J. Martin became pastor and the church was moved to an old building on 36th Avenue. In 1930, the church was completely destroyed by fire. Another building was purchased and the church was moved to 42nd Avenue. In 1932, Rev. Martin was called to work as a missionary. Rev. Caldwell became his successor who served as pastor for three months after which the Rev. A. L. Dixon from Rubonia, Florida became pastor, and then Rev. B. L. Bowens came to serve for one year. In 1946, Rev. E. D. Burnett became pastor and served for two years. In 1948, Rev. L. R. Stancil was called and he led the sheep for 44 years until his death on May 4, 1992. After his demise came Elder B. F. Strange and Rev. Charles F. Burney from May 2000 to April 2001.
New Bethel prayerfully continued their search for a shepherd and the Lord sent the great Rev. Reginal T. Webb from Lakeland, Florida. He faithfully worshipped with New Bethel as interim pastor for one year and was installed as pastor on February 24, 2002.
The New Bethel family has experienced much growth. The most recent progressive move was the construction of the "Family Life Center" which is located adjacent to the church. The official ground-breaking was held on Saturday, September 20, 2003.
Pastor Reginal T. Webb is a native and current resident of Lakeland, Florida. He is the fifth child and youngest son of the late Wilman and Dorette Webb. He is happily married to Deborah Ingram Webb and they have three handsome sons, Rashod, Trey and Deronte, and one beautiful daughter, Heavyn.
After graduating from Lakeland Senior High School, his studies continued at Bethune Cookman University where he received his Bachelor’s Degree. Continually driven to excellence, he attended Nova Southeastern University earning his M.B.A. and he also received Biblical training from Dallas Theological Seminary.
Pastor Webb’s employment began with Polk State College in 1990 and he has served in several capacities throughout the Student Services department. In January 2006, he continued to progress as a College Administrator and was named Dean of Student Services (Lakeland campus). In January of 2014, he was promoted to the position of Vice President for Student Services. Now as vice president for student services, he oversees the numerous components of Student Services, from advising and admissions, to financial aid, athletics, counseling and student activities. He believes that a good education is one of the greatest equalizers in society.
Pastor Webb is a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., graduate of the Leadership Lakeland and Polk Vision Leadership programs. He has always been very active in his community and is often sought to speak at various community and church events.
His Christian walk began at Mount Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Lakeland, Florida. For a period of 28 years, he was under the spiritual leadership of Rev. J. J. McGriff, Pastor. In 1997, he accepted his calling into the ministry and was ordained in 1998. In 1999, the Lord led him to Harmony Missionary Baptist Church where he humbly served as an associate minister under the spiritual leadership of Rev. Steve Caudle, Pastor. On Tuesday, January 8, 2002, he was called to be the Pastor of New Bethel Progressive Missionary Baptist Church in Tampa, Florida. Under his leadership, New Bethel has grown physically and spiritually and the church continues to win souls for Christ one sinner at a time. Because of God’s grace and everyone’s commitment to Excellence in Christ, New Bethel has become the Church of Choice.
