KIDS PASTOR

OPPORTUNITY

WE ARE GROWING

SO IS OUR TEAM

Our story began in 2020 when God moved Randy & Anne Hahne to Fargo, ND with a vision to start a new church in North Dakota’s fastest growing region. God has been so faithful to build His Church, and we have witnessed this from even before our first public service on 9.12.21. Over the past three years, we have celebrated the testimonies of more than one hundred baptisms, lives turned around by the Gospel, relationships forged and a growing family desiring to follow after Jesus together!

As we grow, we are looking to invest in our kids ministry with the addition of a Kids Pastor / Director to our staff team.

Could this be your next step?

We are adding a new position to our growing team! The Kid’s Pastor / Director (KP) will oversee the development, leadership, and growth of HVC's Kids Ministry, with a primary focus on our Horace location.
