Ethan Magness
Senior Minister
Ethan Magness, is coming to us from Joppa, Maryland, where he serves as the pastor of Spiritual Formation at Mountain Christian Church, but he is no stranger to this region. He grew up outside of Elizabethton and attended Elizabethton High School where he met his wife Betsy. They got married in 1995 and served for nine years as part of the staff of Grandview Christian Church here in Johnson City. While there, Ethan served as the Minister to Youth and Young Adults and Betsy was the Worship Minister. During that time, they had two boys, Evan and Bryant.
In 2005, they were called to Mountain Christian Church where Ethan began serving in his current role and soon after that Betsy joined the staff as a Worship Arts pastor leading the worship planning and production process. Ethan’s ministry includes leadership over spiritual formation, Bible classes, student ministry, internships, church planting, curriculum development and several other areas. He also serves as part of Mountain's preaching team.
Ethan earned an MDiv from Emmanuel Christian Seminary in 2000 and his undergraduate degree is in Mathematics and Religion from Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, PA. Ethan has extensive experience in ministerial training as the founder and director of the Semester in Ministry program in partnership with Milligan College, where he has also served as an adjunct professor for 6 years. Both as a teacher and practitioner, Ethan is committed to the preaching and teaching of God’s words as a foundational tool to reach the lost, transform lives and shape community.
Ethan and his family love competing over whose turn it is to read the latest fantasy novel, playing in the outdoors, hiking, camping, kayaking and making music in the garage. They are thrilled to be coming back to Johnson City to continue their ministry together.
Ethan shares a simple vision for the church: “I want to be part of a church that fulfills the Great Commission to make disciples and embodies the Great Commandments to love God and love your neighbor.”
