Connecting ministry leaders with opportunities to serve
American Baptist Personnel Services (ABPS) is a confidential platform that connects ministry leaders and congregations across the American Baptist network. Through ABPS, clergy, chaplains, spiritual caregivers, seminarians, and other ministry professionals leaders can explore opportunities, maintain professional profiles, and connect with organizations seeking leadership.
A Trusted Network for Ministry Calling
Discerning a call to ministry often involves forming new relationships and exploring new opportunities. ABPS helps facilitate these connections.
Whether you are considering a pastoral call, seeking chaplaincy or nonprofit leadership roles, or serving on a search committee looking for qualified leaders, ABPS offers a secure platform where opportunities and ministry leaders can connect.
An ABPS profile links you to a network of American Baptist churches and ministries that are actively seeking to fill leadership roles.
A living ministry profile
Your ABPS profile is more than just a résumé. It acts as a dynamic portfolio that showcases your ministry experience, leadership gifts, and vocational calling.
Through your profile, you can:
Share your ministry background and pastoral leadership
Highlight theological commitments and areas of service
Remain visible to churches and organizations seeking leaders
Stay connected within the American Baptist network
Keeping your profile current helps search committees find you as they look for leaders whose gifts fit their ministry needs.
