Rev. Bevan C. Tulk has served the Concord community for 18 years, bringing a compassionate, multi-disciplinary approach to his community ministry. With a background in physical therapy and health psychology, and a Master of Divinity from Andover Newton Theological School, Bevan focuses his ministry on interfaith wisdom and practices, contemplation, the arts, and intentional spiritual care.
Bevan is passionate about preaching, facilitating meaningful groups, and providing leadership in end-of-life decision-making, natural burial practices, and sustainable church growth. His professional journey includes serving as the Spiritual Care Coordinator for the Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association, where he developed hospice volunteer & bereavement training and integrated the arts into patient, family, and staff support. He later served as the Pastoral & Spiritual Care Director at Havenwood-Heritage Heights, walking alongside elders through all stages of their journey.
In 2018, Bevan transitioned into retirement to focus on his health and the joy of caring for his twin grandsons, Clay and Reese. While he has stepped back from full-time ministry, he continues to support our church as needed. He plans to offer workshops, supply preaching, and training for local church communities as he embraces this new, rewarding season of life.
