Ministry Job Board
The Ministry Job Board provides a centralized system for our national network of churches and Christian nonprofits to advertise open ministry positions and for individuals to discreetly post their personal profile and portfolio, including sample videos (i.e., sermons, worship sets, lessons, etc.). This dynamic system automatically identifies quality matches by cross-references preferred candidate profiles created by churches and organizations with personal profiles, allowing Christian organizations to save hours of sifting through resumes and job postings and save individuals hours of sorting through job postings.
