Please share this job description and details with any qualified candidates and pray for this process, the search team, and for God to send forth the right person for this position.

We are NOW CALLING a Minister of Discipleship: Faith Formation & Missional Living to serve at Holy Comforter Lutheran Church & School. See our job description overview and details for application below:

At Holy Comforter Lutheran Church, our God-given mission is to Go and Make Disciples by nurturing faith (Discover), strengthening families and relationships (Grow), and serving the community (Live) through Christ-centered relationships and meaningful outreach. We do this by growing a connected community where everyone is welcome, and everyone can grow together in faith, service, and fellowship.

CULTIVATING GRACE-CENTERED CULTURE: Equipping for Ministry

The Minister of Discipleship will cultivate a culture of lifelong, grace-centered discipleship, equipping people of all ages to follow Jesus in everyday life, to grow deeper in faith, and to be God’s hands, feet, eyes, and ears in the world. This includes intentionally strengthening meaningful relationships within the congregation and cultivating authentic engagement with the surrounding community.

DEVELOPMENT FOCUSED: Not program-centric

As such, it is an adaptive role as together, we learn what God is calling us into.

ROOTED in Lutheran Theology

Rooted in Lutheran theology, the role supports Holy Comforter’s mission to Go and Make Disciples by Going Deeper with Christ as we Discover our Faith, Grow in Community, and Live God’s Mission!

We are excited about our upcoming 8th annual Kingwood Oktoberfest at Holy Comforter Lutheran Church. It will take place on October 18, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Scroll down for details.

In 2016, The Kingwood OKTOBERFEST (TKO) debuted, earning prestigious recognition as one of the “Top Ten Events of Kingwood”. Fast forward to 2025, TKO will celebrate its 8th anniversary and will feature captivating performances by the Kingwood High School German Club dancers, who bring authentic cultural flair to the festivities. This year, the air will once again be filled with the lively tunes of the Texas Sound Check Band, delighting the crowd with their authentic German Polka. Attendees can also indulge in mouthwatering German cuisine, savoring every bite of the traditional fare, and local craft beer from DECA Beer Company. Our children's area continues to grow with a trackless train, inflatables, face painting, games, and activities for children of all ages to enjoy! We have also added a Vendor Marketplace for your shopping pleasure.

Proceeds from this community event benefit Holy Comforter Lutheran Church & School. This year, we will also make a contribution toward Kerr County flood relief through Lutheran World Relief.
