Who we are:
Bethlehem Church is located in Stanley, Virginia serving the Page Valley. Established in 1873, we are a multigenerational congregation of approximately 225, including youth and young adults. We provide two Sunday morning services, Wednesday night services, children’s and youth activities, and we are actively involved in our local community. We are seeking a lead pastor who will shepherd us and provide spiritual leadership to our congregation.
We seek someone who will come alongside us to disciple and encourage believers, as well as seek and save the lost.

The Lead Pastor is responsible for leading the church body in functioning as a New Testament church. He is responsible for the spiritual health and well‑being of the church and will work along with the other pastors and deacons to shape and carry out the vision of the church. The pastor, as with all members in leadership, must maintain a strong professional image reflective of the church mission.
He must be bold in the faith and lead a lifestyle reflective of the characteristics outlined in the scriptures, 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-15. He will be the leader of the pastoral ministries of the church.
