Senior/Lead Pastor

Lead Pastor

Bethel Bible Fellowship Church  • bethelbfc.org
Location:  Emmaus, Pennsylvania • United States
Salary Range:  To Be Determined (USD)
Reports to:  Board of Elders

Job Overview

Bethel Bible Fellowship Church is a community of believers who love God’s Word, value biblical preaching, and desire to grow as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. We are thankful for God’s faithfulness throughout our history and excited about the opportunities He has placed before us.

We are located in Emmaus, a historic borough in Lehigh County located in the heart of the Lehigh Valley, approximately 50 miles north of Philadelphia. Originally founded as a Moravian settlement in 1759, it has grown into one of the region’s most desirable residential communities while maintaining a strong small-town identity.

Our Mission
We exist to be a Spirit-led, God-glorifying community of maturing disciples, going with Jesus in His ministry of reconciliation to the world.

Everything we do at Bethel Bible Fellowship Church flows from this mission. We desire to glorify God by making mature disciples of Jesus Christ who love Him wholeheartedly, faithfully obey His Word, serve one another with humility, and proclaim the hope of the gospel in our community and throughout the world.

We believe that as the gospel of God’s grace is faithfully proclaimed, genuinely believed, and consistently lived out, lives are transformed, families are strengthened, the church is united, and Christ is glorified.

While ministry methods may change to meet the needs of each generation, our mission remains constant: to faithfully proclaim God’s Word, equip believers for spiritual maturity, and send them into the world as ambassadors of Jesus Christ.
