Are you a church seeking a pastor? We have some resources that can help. The AEMs has been entrusted with the responsibility of being a resource person to Pulpit/Search Committees, and normally it is through the Associate Executive Ministers that a resume reaches a Pulpit/Search Committee. However, a Pulpit/Search Committee has the right to approach a pastor personally to request that you provide a resume. If this should happen it would be helpful for the pastor to make to the Associate Executive Ministers aware of the request.

First point of contact – Greg Jones – Phone (506-635-1922 ext. 1004) or email – greg.jones@baptist-atlantic.ca.
