Handshake

Our Southern Seminary/Boyce Connections Job Board (powered by Handshake) is a great place to post opportunities!

To sign up, click “Post to Handshake” below. After you’ve created your account, click “Post Job,” and fill out the required information. Now you’ll be able to receive resumes directly from our students!

Ministry Bulletins

Our Ministry Bulletins are a great way to post ministry and/or pulpit supply opportunities. If you have a ministry opportunity, please feel free to take advantage of the Bulletins and Handshake. This will give your posting the most visibility.

To request to post a full-time or part-time ministry opportunity, please click on “Post to Ministry Bulletin” below. To request to post a pulpit supply need, please click on “Post to Pulpit Supply Bulletin.”

Student Employment Bulletin

While Handshake is reserved for career and internship opportunities, the Student Employment Bulletin is a resource for posting part-time and local opportunities for students while they are in school.
