Pathway Career Opportunities

Is God calling you to become more involved in the life of our church? We invite you to prayerfully consider these exciting career opportunities:

Unlimited Coordinator — We are looking for a coordinator to lead this unique ministry, which serves families who have children with special needs. You would oversee activities during each of our services, and possible Respite Nights. The time commitment would be five to 10 hours per week.

Women’s Ministry Director — The ideal candidate would oversee our women’s Bible studies, retreats, and other activities during the year. The time commitment would be about 15-20 hours per week.

Communications Developer — We’re looking for an individual with talent in graphic design, videography, and/or social media promotions. This part-time position would require 10-20 hours per week, depending on experience.

If you are interested in any of these positions, you can schedule an interview by emailing Executive Pastor John Westurn at jwesturn@lifeatpathway.com.

College Student Lunch

If you’re enrolled at one of our area colleges or universities, we invite you to join us for lunch on Sunday, October 27! Even better, your meal is on us! We’ll meet in the café right after the 10:45am service for some great food and conversation. Come meet our staff and learn more about what  life at Pathway looks like for students.

Family Discipleship Class

There’s no denying it — we live in a complex world. And as a result, parenting has become much more challenging in this age of screens, smartphones, and social media. But it’s a battle we can win with the right strategies. To that end, we’ve put together a panel of parents to discuss what it means to disciple our kids in these areas — and we’d love to share what we’re learning with you. This special session will take place at 9am on Sunday, November 17. Register now at familyatpathway.com and let’s take on this challenge in the most powerful way possible — together.

Surviving the Holidays
If you are grieving the loss of a loved one, we’re offering a special GriefShare session from 2-4pm on Monday, November 11. Attenders will receive encouragement, support, and valuable tools to navigate the challenges of the holiday season. To learn more or to RSVP, call Karen Worrell at 724.843.6381 or email her at kworrell@lifeatpathway.com.

First Responders & Families

We are so grateful for the active military and first responders in our Pathway community, and we admire how they serve so faithfully and courageously. We’ve also seen how stressful long shifts and deployments can be on spouses and children. Please know we’re praying for you and we would love to connect you with others who understand the complexities of maintaining a strong family in such a career. To that end, we invite all spouses of military or first responders to join us for an evening of encouragement at 6:30pm on Wednesday, November 13, in the café. We’ll have light refreshments and child care will be available. To RSVP, email Teresa Huang at teresaihuang@gmail.com and let her know if you need child care and if you have any food allergies.

Friendsgiving Celebration

Mending Hearts, Pathway’s support group for widows, will host a Friendsgiving celebration at 6pm on Monday, November 4, in F-101. Bring your favorite holiday snack to share and join as us as we hear uplifting thoughts from our guest speaker. RSVP to Beth Mixter at 724.601.4887.

Film Focuses on Adoption Awareness

In observance of adoption awareness month, a free screening of “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot,” will take place at 3pm on Sunday, November 10, at First Presbyterian Church of Beaver. This powerful and moving film highlights the needs of the foster care system and how a church community can step up and help. Please let us know you’re coming by signing up at this link. To learn more about this event or if you have questions about adoption, email Michelle Smith at president@blesssingsthoughadoption.org or call her at 410.739.8990.

Dominican Republic Trip

Child care will be provided, although your kids are welcome to attend with you. To sign up, email Mattie Livada at mlivada@lifeatpathway.com or write “Newcomers Luncheon” on your Connect Card.

If you are interested in being baptized, write “baptism” on your Connect Card or call the office at 724.843.6381.

Special Event for Men

Attention, Pathway men! If you enjoy great food, laughter, and fun, then you won’t want to miss our first “Friday Fellowship Feast!” Delicious smoked brisket is on the menu as we explore the importance of godly friendships as disciples of Christ. This special event is set for 6:30pm on Friday, November 15, at the church. Babysitting also will be provided, so your wife will enjoy a relaxing night, too

Free Digital Content

We’re passionate about providing opportunities for vibrant spiritual growth here at Pathway, and we’re offering a free digital resource to help your family draw closer to God! It’s called RightNow Media and it features more than 20,000 videos you can stream on your smart phone, tablet, or TV. You can access world-class biblical content on your way to work, during lunch, at the gym, or any time that fits your busy schedule. Just write your email address on your Connect Card along with the words “RightNow Media.” We’ll take it from there.

Priorities of Pathway

We believe worshiping, growing, and serving are vital to the life of our church, so our desire is for each of you to engage in all three areas. Here’s how:

Worship: Take part in one of our weekend services in Chippewa or in Moon.

Grow: If you desire spiritual growth, prayer and friendship, join one of our weekday small groups or a Sunday morning group.

Serve: We offer a variety of ministry opportunities where you can serve God and each other. Jump in and find your fit!
