Family Ministries Pastor

This is a full-time pastoral position responsible for providing spiritual leadership to families at Bethel Church through ministry with children from birth through fifth grade. The Family Ministries Pastor equips and shepherd's parents as the primary disciple rs of their children while providing pastoral leadership and oversight for Bethel Kids programming, including Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings.

At its heart, the role invites a pastor to come alongside families in the ordinary and formative moments of life, helping parents grow in confidence and faith as they disciple their children at home and within the life of the church. In this way, the pastor also helps create shared language and practices that strengthen family discipleship across the church.

By leading and developing children’s ministry staff and volunteers, and by collaborating closely with the student ministries pastor and other ministry leaders, this pastor helps ensure a clear, aligned discipleship pathway for children and their families. This role is not simply about maintaining what exists but about shaping a more integrated and intentional family ministry culture at Bethel.

“How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.” These words were spoken thousands of years ago by the Old Testament character Jacob as he awoke from a dream. So scared, so amazed and yet so confident that he had an encounter with the Living God that he named that place Bethel, which means, “the house of God” (Genesis 28).

Bethel Church is an awesome place too because God is here in our midst! For well over a century, people who gather and call themselves Bethel Church have seen God’s faithfulness. Hearts have been touched, minds have been transformed and lives continue to be changed, as we seek to become more like Christ in our realms of influence and around the world.

We are humbled, yet thrilled to be on God’s mission to reach the lost and encourage Christ-followers toward spiritual maturity. In addition to our commitment to empower men and women to live, love and lead like Jesus in their respective realms of influence, as well as our global mission partnerships in a dozen nations around the world, our regional ministries connect with many in our community, including numerous new Americans who now call America home.
