In a world where you can search for almost anything with a few clicks—restaurants, reviews, even real estate—it’s no surprise that job seekers have dozens of options at their fingertips. From major platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed to niche networks and social media referrals, there’s no shortage of tools for finding work.
So, in 2025, you might ask: Do we really need a ministry-specific job board?
We believe the answer is a resounding yes—and here’s why.
Ministry Jobs Aren’t Like Other Jobs
Hiring for ministry is more than matching a résumé to a job description. It’s about calling, culture, and conviction. Churches aren’t just looking for competent professionals—they’re looking for shepherds, leaders, and servants with shared beliefs and values. And ministry candidates aren’t just looking for a paycheck—they’re looking for a people to serve and a place to grow.
That kind of alignment doesn’t happen easily on mainstream job boards.
Why Jobs.SBC.net Exists
Jobs.SBC.net exists to serve churches and job seekers across the Southern Baptist Convention. It’s a trusted, denomination-specific space that helps both sides of the search process find one another—with clarity, transparency, and shared purpose.
Here’s what makes it different:
- Doctrinal Alignment
Our board reflects the theological and missional convictions of Southern Baptists, which helps avoid guesswork and confusion during the hiring process. - Right Audience, Right Place
Your posting won’t get buried in a sea of unrelated job listings. And as a candidate, you won’t have to sift through openings that don’t fit your calling or convictions. - Built for the Local Church
Whether you’re a large church or a small congregation, Jobs.SBC.net is designed with your ministry context in mind.
Still Relevant—Still Needed
In a rapidly changing digital world, ministry hiring still requires something more: trust, context, and community. That’s why a ministry job board matters now more than ever. It’s not about replacing personal networks or referrals—it’s about expanding them, stewarding them, and supporting churches and leaders as they step into God’s calling.
