Church Strengthening Team
Our mission is to ENCOURAGE, EXHORT & EQUIP the local church to engage their community with the Gospel and to grow strong and vibrant disciple making churches.
How can our Strengthening Team serve you?
Pastor Search Process
Request a Resume
ARE YOU AN MTSBC CHURCH SEEKING A PASTOR OR A STAFF POSITION? Upon your request, the MTSBC will provide recently received resumes, a family photo of each prospective candidate, and information provided by them regarding their theological foundation and ministry philosophy.
The MTSBC does not complete a vetting process with these prospective candidates and the transfer of information is not an endorsement. We are here to support you in your pastor search process. Please contact dhales@mtsbc.org with any questions.
Submit a Resume
IS GOD CALLING YOU TO EXPLORE MINISTRY IN MONTANA? The MTSBC does not function as a placement agency, but we work closely with churches who are seeking new pastors and staff positions. Upon the request of an MTSBC church, we share resumes to their search team.
