Associate Pastor to Preschool & Children or Director of Preschool & Children’s Ministry at Bethany Baptist Church
McDonough, Georgia

Bethany Baptist Church has served McDonough & Henry County, Georgia (A suburb just south of Atlanta) for the past 165 years. Our church has a heritage of reaching out to our community and has seen times of great growth; yet we remain a church that feels like home. After our pastor of 32 years retired 3 years ago, about a year ago we have called a new pastor to lead us into the next season of ministry. We are looking to build on the strong gospel foundations of our church to reach a new generation as our county is continuing to see explosive growth.

Our church currently averages between 300-350 in Sunday morning worship. We are home to a Weekday Preschool with enrollment of 120 students. Our Children and Preschool ministry has been growing this past year. We are looking to grow our church and develop our Children & Preschool ministries while reaching the community with the Hope of the Gospel. We have a great facility with a Worship Center that seats over 600, a gym, a large youth area, and a ballfield. We are well positioned on the corner of a major highway and poised to be a lighthouse to our growing community.

 

We are seeking the right person to join our team who will:

Be a team player, willing to work with the other ministries of the church, and help our Children’s Ministry be connected with the church body as a whole.
Lead our Preschool & Children’s ministries (Birth-5th Grade) and help give church oversight to our Weekday Preschool Ministry (led by Weekday Preschool Director).
Lead Preschool & Children’s Ministries that encourages kids to live their lives as multiplying disciples of Christ.

Facilitate trainings & provide encouragement for parents to lead in their homes in a way that exalts Jesus above all else and is based on God’s Word.
Plan special events with emphases on fun & fellowship, spiritual growth, and evangelistic outreach to our community.

Join our current church leadership in working to equip our church to reach our community with the hope of the Gospel.
