In order to ensure the accuracy of your request, please complete the “Ministry Opportunity Form” thoroughly and return it to our Placement Office. You will receive a confirmation email that your position has been posted. If you do not receive a confirmation within two days, please notify our office. It is essential that you complete the 75-100 word position description in order for your listing to be placed on our web site. For multiple position openings, please submit one form per position. Also, please send us additional information regarding your church or position, including a job description, church doctrinal statement, etc. These items will be included in a hard file for students to review in our office.

Please note that each ministry opportunity is kept active for four (4) months. Your request will not renew automatically. If your position is still available after that time, please contact our office requesting that we renew your listing, and we will keep the position active for an additional four (4) months. We can continue this process until your position is filled.

If you prefer to receive the attached form via fax or postal mail, please provide our office with your appropriate contact information. For additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

To assist you in your search, please review the helpful information on how to conduct the Pastoral Search Process.

We pray for the Lord’s guidance and blessing in your search.

Serving Him,
