Information and Resources for the Search and Call Process
We believe that ministers and churches thrive together. As ministers seek vocational calls and churches search for ministers, we invite the Fellowship’s network into the collaborative work with God’s Spirit to guide these calls. Equipping search teams with resources, leveraging technology, and facilitating conversations across CBF’s state and regional organizations and partners, Ministerial Transitions supports the transformative work of churches and clergy as they pursue their God-given mission.
Engaging CBF Ministerial Transitions
We invite ministers and search teams entering the search and call process to schedule a conversation with Jay Kieve, Director of Ministerial Transitions, as a first step. This is an opportunity for you to share your hopes for the next ministerial call and learn how CBF supports ministerial transitions.
Leveraging Technology
Create a search profile with CBF’s LeaderConnect. Based on a user profile, LeaderConnect’s matching system suggests which calls may align with enrolled ministers. Far from a “placement service,” LeaderConnect equips ministers and search teams with a head start.
Equipping Search Teams
We equip search teams with resources to help organize and maximize the effectiveness of their work. These resources offer suggestions for prayer practices, communication planning, and other search tasks. We invite searchers to access these resources, and follow-up with questions or context-specific consultation with Jay Kieve, Director of Ministerial Transitions, or your state and regional leaders.
Information shared during the ministerial transitions process will be used to communicate with you about your ministerial search. CBF may also use the information to share resources, opportunities, or partner events with you. CBF will not sell your information to 3rd parties. You may opt out of promotional communication be emailing fellowship@cbf.net.
