BAPTIST LIST
PLEASE TAKE NOTE
For many years, "Baptist List" has been published weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Our goal was to keep the information up-to-date. However, maintaining this information has become increasingly difficult. Over the past 8 months, we have been unable to update this info, leading us to the decision to take this website offline. On June 25 BaptistList will go dark. This is a logistical reality we must acknowledge. We want to express our gratitude to the approximately 1200 users each month who have relied on this information to discern God's will. May you be blessed in your ministry during these days.
It is recommended that interested persons contact the local Baptist association for further information. Most Search Committees discard unqualified or inappropriate resumes, so candidates should respect this.
Suggestions for you
Hello Friend
After reading through 5 or 6 dozen resumes as our Search Team was seeking a full-time Associate Pastor and seeing the oversights by many prospects, this page was developed to remind candidates of some things which might keep them from getting fair consideration. Please accept these words, not as an expert, but rather as brothers trying to help brothers.
First Reminder: This is their FIRST IMPRESSION OF YOU. Make it good.
