Job Description
Bethany Christian Church (BCC), a church of 175+ is actively seeking a Next Generation Minister. We are in need of someone willing to work with our elders, staff, and volunteers to develop and implement a ministry that will disciple our young people in the Middle School, High School, and post-high school years. This is a newly created position at BCC designed to help with the spiritual development of students AND young adults.
Our vision is to have the Next Generation Minister lead teens into their young adult years, helping them grow in their faith as they transition from youth into adulthood.
The Next Generation Minister will work with the Lead Minister to guide the volunteer team leaders, cast vision, and disciple our young people through relational ministry as well as solid Biblical teaching. We would love for him to demonstrate a heart for leading students and young adults into outreach, both locally and globally. The elders encourage our ministers to get to know their peers and be involved in a supportive professional relationship with other area ministers.
About BCC
BCC is a multi-generational, non-denominational Christian Church. We seek to reach lost people for Jesus in our community and around the world through our church partners in Brazil, the Philippines, India and others. Supporting these ministries as well as being involved in local efforts, fueled by our desire to “Love God, Love People and Share Jesus.” We are a church open to anyone, as they are, willing to come and encounter the love of Jesus.
At BCC we focus on building disciples through providing service opportunities and Bible classes, covering a variety of subjects for all ages. We also offer growth and fellowship opportunities through studies we call “Community Groups.” BCC is grateful to have many families with small children and youth. We are blessed to have members within the church serving in various capacities, which allows us to offer children and youth Bible study, as well as nursery and children’s church during our regular worship time.
Things to Do
BCC is located in Louisa County, near central Virginia. We are close to Lake Anna, a beautiful local attraction offering an abundance of activities for families and individuals. It is known for its fishing, swimming, and water sports. Lake Anna State Park offers some wonderful hiking trails and there are many restaurants surrounding the lake to enjoy.
The shops and activities in Short Pump and the quaint town of Ashland, are about 30 minutes away. We are conveniently nestled in between Charlottesville, Richmond and Fredericksburg. The Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia Beach and Washington D.C. are just a short drive away. We enjoy quiet country living with lower real estate costs all while having the convenience of being close to options for shopping, museums, and hospitals.
We are praying for a Next Generation Minister who will lead our efforts to disciple older students and young adults in the post-high school years. This needs to be someone who isn’t afraid to talk with teens and young adults about hard topics, has vision for how they can be involved in the ministry of our church, and seeks God’s truth and love. If that is you, we would love to hear from you!
