My friend Rob Rienow, Family Pastor at Wheaton Bible Church in Wheaton, IL, has asked me to spread the world about some positions that they have open in youth and children's ministry. They are particularly looking for people who are interested in a home centered approach to youth and children's ministry. He has invited me to post his letter on the blog.
Rob is an outstanding leader, supervisor and speaker. He has been at Wheaton Bible for fifteen years. You can learn more about him and his philosophy at his Visionary Parenting site or by listening to WBC sermons.
Wheaton Bible Church is the church where I grew up and my mom still attends there. It has about 2200 people in attendance. They are currently building a new facility.

Letter from Rob Rienow
Dear friends,
I wanted you to know that Wheaton Bible Church is currently looking three major positions in our Children's and Youth Ministries. I thought that you might be able to help!
We are committed to finding people who are already familiar with and committed to a theology of ministry that puts parents first in the discipleship process. We need people who believe their primary job as youth and children's ministers is to inspire and equip families become centers. Ben Freudenberg calls this "home centered, church supported" discipleship. That is what we are after as we move into the future at Wheaton Bible Church.
Here are the three positions that we are looking for right now:
- Elementary Director – serving on the larger Childrens and Family team, supporting the parents of our elementary school kids – 400 kids with their families.
- High School Pastor – serving on the larger Student and Family team, supporting the parents of our high schoolers – 350 students with their families.
- Girls Discipleship Director – serving on the larger Student and Family team, supporting the parents of our teen (both hs and jr) girls – 225 girls with their families.
If you are interested in any additional information about these positions, or you know potential candidates that you can send my way, I would be grateful for your help. Feel free to email me back, or direct potential candidates to email me their resume at rrienow@wheatonbible.org
God's Love,
Rob Rienow
