Sam Aaron - Bethel Church of San Jose GenNow Elementary Pastor

Sam Aaron

As the Gen Now Elementary Pastor at Bethel Church, I have the privilege of serving elementary-aged children (1st–5th grade) and their families. My passion is to create a fun, welcoming, and spiritually enriching environment where children can learn about Jesus, grow in their faith, and develop lifelong friendships. I work alongside an incredible team of volunteers to guide kids toward discovering God’s love and truth, while also equipping parents to disciple their children at home.

I also provide vision, strategy, and leadership for all areas of our elementary ministry—from Sunday services and outreach events to camps and midweek gatherings. I love building strong partnerships with parents, developing volunteer leaders, and establishing creative ways for our church to impact local schools and the broader community. My heart is to raise up a generation of kids who know Jesus, love His Word, and boldly live out their faith.
