The Big Picture
Bethany Community Church (bethanygrandview.org) is seeking a Pastor who will partner with us as we grow spiritually, worship God, study His Word and do His work in our community.
The Church
Bethany Seeks to: Exalt God through inspired worship, Biblical messages, and enthusiastic praise. Equip Believers for ministry empowered by the Holy Spirit, guided by scripture, mature leadership, participation in small groups, and discovery of gifts to serve. Evangelize at Home and Abroad, serving those in need by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ in word and deed. In 2012 we left the PCUSA and became members of ECO (A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians. In 2020 we added services in English and in Spanish online.

There are 5 public schools and 1 parochial school, a public library, 5 city parks, a seasonal swimming pool, an 18-hole golf course and 19 churches plus a community college.
The Candidate

We seek a pastor who will guide us to grow spiritually as well as encourage us to become risk takers in our outreach to the community.
