Ministry is relationship. Offering search committees a way to get to know you and experience your ministry will help set you up for a good match. There are different methods of “showing” your ministry along side your Ministerial record, which merely “tells” about you.

Websites are a nice option for ministers who have the technical savvy to create and maintain one. There are many low-cost (or free) options available.

On-Line Folder
