Our aim is to help you fill or find positions more quickly, and with the brightest
and best people and forward-looking churches, schools, and organizations.

What kind of ad can I place?
All of our ads can include up to 500 words, multiple links, unlimited

Do any other features come with the ad?
You have your choice of a 30, 60, or 90 day advertisement.
You can request a "blind" email response form. This enables others to respond
to your ad without knowing your personal information, such as name, phone number,
email address, etc.
You can revise your ad at any time. This is helpful if you find you are not
getting the type of matches you intended, and you need to change the wording of
your ad to get a slightly different response.
You can place your resume, brochure, or web page online at our site for the
duration of your ad. This can save you mailing costs, and the solve the trouble
of difficult downloads for those who are interested in knowing more about
you.

How many people might see my ad?
Your ad is being advertised to the whole world, because MinistrySearch heavily
promotes this site specifically to ministers and organizations just like you.
This increases the number of visitors to the site, and potential matches for your
listing.
We regularly host 7,000+ visits each week from North America and beyond. (These are genuine "visits," not just
"hits." The term "hits" can be somewhat misleading, because one visit can mean
dozens, if not hundreds, of "hits" -- depending on the web site.)
