Church Services

Churches may access our services through one of several options -

Option # 1

Ministerial Profile Service

Your church may access our minister/evangelist preferred profile database to receive resumes of ministers that meet your specific requirements. A simple process of completing a Church Profile outlining the desired qualifications of the ministerial candidate and E-mailing or faxing it to us will initiate the process. We will immediately forward resumes meeting your specifications to your church for consideration. We anticipate the church and minister will seek God's will in this calling process.

Fee: $95.00 (Includes all ministerial matches in our database.)

Option # 2

Option # 3

Minister Search Service

This option allows our Minister Search Service to aggressively go to work for your church immediately.

Utilizing the qualifications that your church desires in a minister, SBMSS will search out these ministers and present them, along with their Portfolio to you.

Option # 4

Sat-A-View

Through satellite and compressed video technology, interviews can now be conducted without the expense of the ministerial candidate or the search committee traveling to distant locations. Through utilizing over 250 conference satellite stations nationwide, involved parties save time, money and energy. Sat-A-View also provides review of the interview by both the ministerial candidate and the search committee through videotaped recording of the interview. When time and distance are factors, Sat-A-View is Biblical Stewardship at its best.
