Ruby Beneteau
Associate Pastor/ Lighthouse Home Mission Director
Pastor Beneteau is the minister in charge of Lighthouse Home Missions, our clothing & feeding program. Her compassion for the poor, and her zeal for the lost have made her a vessel that God uses to show how much He loves us.
When she came to Full Gospel Temple and began establishing the Lighthouse Home Missions, it had humble beginnings in her basement. Growing with the ministry that God had called her to, she has had to take a stand for righteousness in the community, in city hall and even in some churches.
Pastor Beneteau is married with three grown children and her family supports her completely in home and ministry life.

Scott O'Leary
Pastor over: Media, Men's Care Groups, Praise & Worship, Phone Ministry & Altar Workers
I was saved in 1998 in an apartment by myself in Kalamazoo Mi. I was spending time reading the Word of God and I asked him to make himself real to me.
About a month after I had gotten saved we were having a Bible study and I saw in my minds eye me preaching in a church and I could sense that that was what I am called to do.I came to FGT in 1998 and working third shift at the time , I started picking up bread at a few grocery stores to get involved, I also started getting my feet wet in the Ministry side of things, so for the next 14 years I started to minister at Oakdale Recovery Center, Walter Reuther & several Retirement Homes. I also started playing guitar on the Praise and Worship team in 2003.
My ministry experience in different places has equipped me to meet the many needs of people.
It has built great discipline in me, realizing that all people need the Word of God.
The sermon needs to touch their hearts and our time together should be an event where God moves into their lives allowing them to depart closer to God.
God has given me the availability to be involved in:
Media, Men's Care Groups, Praise and Worship, Phone Ministry, and Altar Workers.
In the future I would like to be in full time ministry as a pastor/preacher/teacher & caring for the flock of God.
Meet our Leadership Team

Laurie Shakarian
Women's Ministry Director
I first became a believer when I was 15. When I married at 17, in 1974, I put my husband on the throne where God belonged. It took me 5 long years until I realized that God was calling me to put Him back in the right place in my life as Savior and Lord.
I first came to FGT on Easter morning in 1989; Mike and I were dating, and he had invited me. The church I was attending at that time was not spirit-filled and I was. It was such a blessing to not have to quiet the spirit who is living in me. I knew I was home! May 2010 I was called by God to be the Director of the Women's Ministry.

Stanley Beneteau
Co-Founder Lighthouse Home Mission
I came to FGT in 1986 and was almost immediately drawn into ministry
as a character in one of the plays. I have since served in ministry in one
form or the other ever since. I was raised in a Catholic household growing up,
so the Pentecostal church was quite different to me, I had never even heard of
speaking in tongues or baptism of the Holy Spirit. But God in all his wisdom chose
to show me how real he was in a very intimate way. (Ask me about it and I
will be happy to share my story).
I have been blessed with a wife of over 50 years who is also the
Senior Associate Pastor of FGT. Many years ago, God opened our house
to the needy and homeless in the area, most of who were youth from broken
homes or homeless altogether. That is where the Lighthouse got its start,
we saw a need and stepped up to fill it. It grew so big that we asked
the pastor if there was a place at the church to accommodate it,
they gave us a small room for a pantry and since then it has
grown into the biggest ministry of the church. I stepped up to become
Deacon of security and was entrusted with the safety of the
congregation. Come and meet me and see if we can find
you a place in ministry for this great church.
