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

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.
