Special attention is given to help graduating students find church-related vocational service. Students are encouraged to seek counsel with the director of Church Relations and to maintain a current resume for referral, while also watching current postings on the Seminary website at mabts.edu.

Before graduating, each student is encouraged to schedule a personal interview for assistance.
