Toph Majors
Director of Pastoral Apprenticeship &
Instructor of Biblical Studies
Bethlehem College and Seminary is delighted to announce that Pastor Toph Majors has agreed to serve as the Director of Pastoral Apprenticeship and Instructor of Biblical Studies, beginning January 1, 2026. “Toph is an exemplary graduate of Bethlehem Seminary with over fifteen years of experience in pastoral ministry, and his appointment strengthens our commitment to provide a first-rate resident pastoral apprenticeship for our Master of Divinity students in partnership with many like-minded churches,” said President Brian J. Tabb.
Majors completed a Bachelor of Arts at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, and he was one of the first graduates of Bethlehem Seminary’s Master of Divinity program. He returned to complete a Master of Theology degree in 2024. Toph is married to Amy, and they are the proud parents of three daughters and one son.
Since 2012, he has served as one of the pastors of Jubilee Community Church in Minneapolis, a congregation in the Treasuring Christ Together Network, originally planted by Bethlehem Baptist Church. His ministry has included regular preaching and teaching, pastoral care and counseling, youth and family ministry, urban outreach, and mentoring of college and seminary students. He plans to continue as a non-staff elder of Jubilee Community Church after assuming his new responsibilities. Majors has also served as an adjunct instructor at Bethlehem College and Seminary, teaching Biblical Greek to undergraduates in Minneapolis and to seminary apprentices at the school’s extension site in Yaoundé, Cameroon. He will continue to teach Biblical Greek alongside his leadership responsibilities.
“I owe much of my pastoral formation to the mentors and brothers who walked with me during my apprenticeship at Bethlehem,” Majors said. “To now help others grow through that same life-on-life model is both a sacred trust and a deep joy. I’m profoundly grateful to the Lord for the opportunity to serve his church in this way and invest in the next generation of pastors.”
Bethlehem Seminary seeks to prepare joyful pastors to preach a big God and shepherd Christ’s church. Seminary students are called “pastoral apprentices,” and deployed in meaningful hands-on ministry in partner churches under the supervision of wise and godly pastors. “Toph Majors has been a Bethlehem apprentice, has mentored and taught many apprentices as a faithful pastor and teacher, and is well connected with like-minded churches and ministries,” Tabb added. “He loves Bethlehem College and Seminary’s mission, our doctrine, and our intentionally relational model of raising up the next generation of faithful men who aspire to the worthy office of pastor.”
