NL Moore & Associates is pleased to announce the selection of Jeff Levine as Lead Pastor at Bethany Church of Long Beach, California. Our team has been working with Bethany Church for the past three years to craft and execute an effective transition plan and search in this historic church. With great joy and enthusiasm, the congregation selected Pastor Jeff Levine to lead them into a vibrant future.

Jeff has a long history in Long Beach, having served for the past 12 years at Long Beach Rescue Mission. He holds a Master’s degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance from the University of Redlands, and a Bachelor’s degree in Biblical and Theological Studies from Biola University. He is ordained and licensed through Chaplain Fellowship Ministries.

Jeff and his wife, Lauren, have been married for 11 years and just recently welcomed their first child, a beautiful daughter named Scarlett Elizabeth. Jeff wants to help Bethany Church be the best it can be. Through his teaching, leadership and shepherding, he hopes to call individuals and groups into a greater sense of community with God and one another in order to reach the greater Long Beach community for Christ.

It has been a privilege for NL Moore & Associates to have served Bethany Church these past three years. We sincerely wish the Levine family and the Bethany congregation God’s richest blessing as they launch into the next season of ministry together!
