Bethel Church of Christ is seeking to add a full-time youth ministry position to our current full time staff. The youth minister would oversee the ministries involving students in 7th-12th grade. Currently Bethel enjoys a very large group of small children involved in our children’s ministries, and the candidate would work closely with our Director of Children’s Ministries to help disciple students as they navigate through the challenges of their teen years. This is a forward thinking ministry addition as we look to keep those families involved through their students’ high school years and beyond. 

For the right candidate this could work into a dual specialty ministry. Bethel would like to hire the correct person more than filling a specific position. The other position could be in worship, small groups, discipleship, assimilation, technology, etc. Where can your passions and skills be best used to advance the kingdom of God? 

Bethel currently has 2 full-time staff, and 5 part-time staff between the church and Bethel Christian Preschool. We are a rural congregation in Northwest Ohio situated between the college towns of Ada and Bluffton, and a short drive from Findlay. We are an established congregation with 2 worship services and a very active Sunday school program.

Bethel offers a very competitive compensation package commensurate on experience. 

A graduate of a Church of Christ/Christian Church-supported college or university and/or prior experience in youth ministry is preferred. 

Are you a spiritual leader hungry to see God change lives and communities?  Do you see the church as a place where people are finding family, knowing God, discovering their purpose, and making an impact?  Are you a high-capacity leader with an ability to lead, pastor, and preach?

Our purpose at WellSpring is to help people follow Jesus.  We are located 35 miles south of downtown Nashville, TN, in the growing community of Spring Hill.  As Nashville has grown during the last decade, so have Spring Hill and our church.  With an average attendance of around 700, WellSpring is looking to establish our first satellite campus about 15 miles south in the growing community of Columbia, TN (hopefully and prayerfully in the fall of 2022).  The position of Columbia Campus Pastor will be crucial to the success of our new WellSpring Campus.

What we’re looking for:

• Someone who deeply loves Jesus and the church

Do you have the ability to lead large groups of people in a memorable worship experience utilizing music, media and the arts?  WellSpring opened a new 700-seat auditorium less than a year ago; we’re now looking for someone to lead worship that is vibrant, transformative, and rooted in Biblical truth.  And because we are looking to go multi-site in 2022, this person will also have the opportunity to help shape the worship experience for our second campus.

We value someone who has a heart for authentic worship, ministry, and the church.  We are not looking for someone who sees this as a gig or has hopes of making it big in Nashville or the music industry.

Our must haves:

• Strong communication and relational skills
• Collaborator and coach, with the ability to delegate
• High-capacity: team player, humble, with some grit
• Excellent vocally and musically

Lead Pastor Position

Fork Christian Church (FCC) is located in northern Baltimore County between the semi-rural communities of Fork and Kingsville, Maryland. Founded in 1893 as a plant of Mountain Christian Church, FCC has a continued interest in church planting in the northeast, and has a history of stable leadership and long-term ministry in our region.

Pre-pandemic our 2 weekly services averaged 600 adults, students, and children. We resumed outdoor worship in July 2020, and indoor activities for students and adults in the fall of 2020 following an excellent effort by our pastors to continue weekly virtual worship opportunities throughout the pandemic.

FCC is a non-denominational Christian Church that seeks to experience and share God’s love in our community. This occurs through weekly worship and service opportunities on our campus, where construction of our current worship center was completed in 2011. This 4-minute VIDEO introduces you to the FCC Ministry – https://vimeo.com/623512627/69340e42fb.

Fork Christian Church transitioned from the 24-year ministry of our long-time Senior Pastor in 2016, followed by our prior Student Pastor successfully serving as our Lead Pastor the last five years. We are again seeking to expand our pastoral staff with opportunities for both a new Lead Pastor and Executive Pastor.

Our current pastoral staff consists of a full-time Connections Pastor, Children’s Pastor, Student Pastor, and Worship Pastor, who are supported by our Creative and Communications Director, Financial Administrator, and Facilities Manager.

Fork Christian Church is seeking a Lead Pastor to champion the vision and values for our ministry, while setting the strategic vision for our congregation in cooperation with our ministry staff and volunteer leaders. He will function as the primary communicator during corporate worship events, developing engaging and applicable messages based on the truths of scripture. He will be a leader of leaders, and accountable to the Elders of FCC.
