Student Missions
This ministry is designed to provide high school-age or college-age students from SBC churches in Montana and other states an opportunity to serve as a Student Missionary in a local church field in Montana. The term of the Student Missionary is from eight to twelve weeks. It is our hope that this level of ministry will be an investment into the life of a young adult as they seek God’s direction in their career path, education and life. Certain qualifications are required for each applicant and host church.
