House Parents at a Biblical Counseling Residential Home
House Parents
Adirondack Bible Chapel · Residential Discipleship at the Ministry Center
Adirondack Bible Chapel is looking for a Christian married couple to serve as House Parents at our Ministry Center, a 200-acre property in the heart of the Adirondacks where people come to heal, to grow, to serve, and to rest.
This isn't a program. It's the church being the church: a family of believers living out the gospel together. As House Parents, you'll be the warm, steady presence that makes the lodge feel like home.
What You'll Do
-
Share meals, conversation, and everyday life with residents.
-
Host community dinners and bonfires every other week, plus a monthly Sunday brunch.
-
Husband (40–45 hrs/week): Care for the lodge and grounds, including mowing and minor repairs, and serve as the after-hours contact.
-
Wife (20–25 hrs/week): Help with meal planning and groceries, coordinate chores for women residents, and keep the kitchen and common areas welcoming.
You won't be counselors or disciplinarians. You'll report to our Executive Director (Pastor) and work alongside our Discipleship & Operations Manager, who handle counseling, discipline, and resident oversight. Your private time and marriage will be protected.
We're Looking For
-
A married couple who love Jesus and each other.
-
Genuinely hospitable people with healthy boundaries.
-
Able to manage a household, stick to a budget, and handle basic property upkeep.
-
In agreement with our statement of faith.
What We Offer
-
Total Package $50,000 - $60,000
-
Private on-site apartment with utilities included (details in the residency agreement).
-
Salary $30,000 - $40,000
-
Three weeks vacation
-
Life in a close-knit church family, surrounded by the lakes, woods, and seasons of the Adirondacks.
