Church Relations

Church Relations serves as a liaison between churches and students. The office of the vice president and dean of the Seminary maintains contact with local churches, and search committees representing churches are allowed to post ministerial staff opportunities on the Seminary website and in the weekly electronic student newsletter. 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.

Career Counseling and Planning

The dean of the Seminary counsels students regarding career planning. Within the context of God’s calling, students receive counsel concerning ministry opportunities as pastors, associate pastors, education ministers, ministers to children, youth ministers, church planting, and missionary work. Before graduating, each student is encouraged to schedule a personal interview for assistance.

Student Assistance
