David and Bethany Dorminey
David was born in Macon, Georgia and graduated from Mercer University with a business degree.
After moving to Atlanta, he met his wife, Bethany, and got married in 1996. They lived in the Decatur/Northlake area about 17 years before moving to Skidaway Island in 2013. He worked at Memorial Health but recently joined Cigna Healthcare last year. He enjoys running, fishing, boating and traveling (Bethany is the planner). He also finds plenty of time to crack Dad jokes – much to his family’s dismay.
Bethany was born in Zanesville, Ohio and grew up in West Chester, Ohio. She attended the University of Cincinnati for nursing school. She moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1995, where she met and fell in love with her husband, David. Their daughter, Ava, was born in 2003 and son, Jack, in 2006. David’s opportunity brought them to Savannah in 2013. They have thoroughly enjoyed raising their family here. Bethany works from home for Cigna Healthcare. In her free time, she enjoys cooking, sewing, and traveling to new places.
David and Bethany really enjoy the warmth and kindness at Skidaway Community Church and are excited to be part of it.
