Associate Pastor- Bethany Baptist Church
CORE OVERSIGHT In the following, reference is often made to overseeing ministry and equipping. Oversight in the context of what follows speaks to making certain church ministries are faithful to the truth of Scripture and that the number of programs and activities, no matter their appearance of success, are not the measure of Holy Spirit empowered ministry. Rather, Jesus calls us to make disciples who are faith-filled, obedient and attractive followers of Jesus. In light of that, oversight means taking responsibility to make certain that church initiatives taken and ‘programs’ run are empowered under God’s leading not our own. God’s call for those in church leadership is to shepherd the flock. Shepherds guide, heal, protect, and where needed, correct. With that said, pastoral staff are part of a shepherding team. In light of this, the associate pastor sought for at Bethany is not expected to do all ministry outlined below rather he is to be active in finding and equipping others to use their God given gifts under that individual’s guidance.PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITES FAMILY MINISTRY DEVELOPMENT AND OVERSIGHT HOUSE GROUP DEVELOPMENT AND OVERSIGHT CONNECTIONS CARE TEACHING AND DISCIPLESHIP |
