MinisterConnection Placement Service

"We use the site for Student Ministries Pastors"

We have recommended MinisterConnection for the placement of Student Ministries Pastors in the Forest Lake District since the process was refined by EFCA Reach Students leadership last spring.  Those who have used it are delighted with the result.  It narrows the search to candidates who significantly fit the position they are being called to fill and the staff team they will be joining.  It gives depth of insight into a candidates theology, personality (through the Ministry Match profile included in MinisterConnection) and ministry history."  —Rob Weise, Director of Student Ministries, EFCA Forest Lakes District, Stevens Point, WI, November 8, 2011
