GSC Program Purpose and Structure
The GSC program provides opportunities for individuals to meet strategic field needs and make significant contributions to CBF Global Missions using their specific skills, background, and abilities. Assignments are based on a two-year appointment and provide valuable experience that can serve as a bridge to career field service for individuals seeking confirmation of their missions calling.
This program is resourced using a partnership model where GSC personnel will be responsible for developing relationships with partners who invest both financially and through prayer support. In addition to both training and field support, CBF Global Missions provides a health benefits package for all GSC personnel.
GSC Identity and Role
Members of the Global Service Corps are appointed volunteer personnel whose assignment is related to the ongoing ministries of career personnel. Serving to fulfill a specific need or project-related function through an apprenticeship model, GSC personnel relate to and participate alongside other members of CBF field teams.
