Bethel Church in Crown Point, IN (www.bethelweb.org) is a thriving multi-site church ready to find a gifted and called Campus Pastor to lead the Hobart/Portage (HP) location. The role is ideally suited for someone who is ready to preach 25 times a year and lead a growing campus location within a large, multi-site congregation.
Under the leadership of Pastor Steve Dewitt, the church has become one of the largest churches in the country according to Outreach Magazine. It hosts five campus locations within a short drive of the main campus, including a Mandarin language campus. The Hobart/Portage (HP) location began in 2014 and grew to about 600 worshippers (pre-COVID). The HP campus is energetic, dynamic, and is largely populated with younger families. With over 100,000 residents within easy reach of HP, the right Pastor will lead this congregation in developing new outreach opportunities, growing the leadership aptitude of its many volunteers, and shepherding the people with excellent and insightful leadership.
Bethel is looking for an unashamed lover of Jesus who can create energy by modeling the life of Christ to others. He needs to be an experienced and engaging speaker who possesses a strong voice in the pulpit with a deeply spiritual and biblical focus. This Pastor will need to be relevant, accessible, humble, and speak with theological precision. He will occasionally fill the pulpit at Bethel Crown Point. The Campus Pastor will lead staff, shepherd the congregation, mobilize the campus for mission, and work within the larger Bethel model of ministry.
The HP campus derives its name from the two principal cities it serves: Hobart, IN and Portage, IN. The combined population base of these two cities and the overall region is about 100,000 people. The HP campus is as little as 40 minutes from downtown Chicago and is a bedroom community for Chicago. With a low cost of living and good schools, those who move here will enjoy a great quality of life for all members of the family.
