Family Director

ABC (Altamahaw Baptist Church) is seeking an individual who deeply desires to establish a culture of family discipleship. Our hope is that whomever the Lord leads to this position would begin to build a ministry that engages, equips, and encourages kids and their families. The Family Director will play a key role in helping establish a foundation for long-term discipleship and church health as ABC seeks revitalization.

ABC is currently in the process of revitalization
. This presents an opportunity for the Family Director to truly leave their unique, God‑given, mark on the families of this community. We are also a rural community. However, the greater region of NC continues to grow, with new subdivisions and communities being built just outside of the Altamahaw area—encroaching ever closer towards our quaint community.
