Hello everybody! I know these are rough economic times. I myself have been looking for work but want to stay with a Christian employer or some other kind of charity work. In my job search I have compiled a list of the major Christian job sites along with some information about them, and thought it would be a useful resource to share with my fellow Christians here.
In alphabetical order...
AllChristianJobs.com
Essentially, they're a Christian career job site with the added benefit of a global freelance marketplace they've recently added. They seem to have a great idea here with free job postings & freelance project postings for employers, and free resume uploads for job seekers, with paid upgrades to feature any of those for reasonable prices. Easy to navigate site design, and several new postings per day.
Careers In The US Navy: Clergy
Members of the Chaplain Corps provide moral support for young people away from home for the first time, lend advice to individuals facing personal or emotional difficulties, and provide spiritual assistance to people from all walks of life. Sounds like it could be a great experience if you're feeling called to get away from the usual routine.
Christian Career Center
The mission at the "Christian Career Center" is to help Christians integrate their faith with career/life planning and find work that fits their God-given design. They have created their site to be a “one-stop” career center, a resource to help you reach your career potential. A great site if you're looking for career testing and coaching services.
ChristianCareersCanada.com
Career listings for ministry positions as well as careers from a wide range of industries, mostly in Canada. This site is a service of Tyndale University College & Seminary, so it is more suited to recent college or seminary graduates. Job posting and resume posting is free.
Christian Jobs Australia
This site brings together jobseekers and employers by utilising not only their website, but also the national network of Christian Churches from all denominations throughout Australia. Makes for pretty much the online destination when it comes to searching for jobs based in Australia.
Christianet.com
This site is pretty much the Craigslist of Christian job search: no frills and a little clumsy to navigate. Old-school but you'll definitely find some good possibilities here, as there are a lot of listings that seem to be somewhat fresh, 2 or 3 new postings per day.
Christian Nanny
For all you ladies out there with nurturing hearts and a love of children, this looks to be a great resource for you. Prospective nannies can apply free.
Christian Personnel Placements (CPP)
If you're looking for employment with a Christian employer or ministry in Canada, this site might make for a good reference point. A really well designed site with a lot of resources, but unfortunately most of the job postings appear to be out of date.
ChristianSchoolEmployment.com
This site provides job search tools for those seeking employment in Christian K-12 Schools. They use a kind of webcrawler approach by searching the web for relevant job postings and then compiling them on their site. Innovative site for those of you seeking employment in the Christian Education field.
ChristianTeachingJobs.com
This site is definitely the top destination for Christian teaching, coaching and administrative jobs. I also found the number of international opportunities in their job listings pretty impressive.
ChurchEmployment.com
This site is very straightforward, and will definitely help you find some opportunities if you are looking for work specifically in US churches.
ChurchJobs.net
Another good site if you are looking for opportunities specifically in US-based churches. I would say they are posting about 1 new job listing per day. Much like ChristianJobs.com, they have a little too much clutter on their site, but you will find some good listings once you figure your way around.
Compassion International
A great organization with a ton of opportunities. If I remember correctly, their recent annual report from last year stated donations over $350 million and salaries for their huge staff at about $18 million.
Council for Christian Colleges & Universities
This is definitely the larger source of job postings for opportunities in Christian Higher Education, from executive to support positions. Clean site design and several new postings daily.
Youth Specialties
If you're looking for work in the field of youth ministry, whether that be at churches or other youth ministry related jobs like summer camps, this is pretty much THE destination. You'll find 5-10 new postings per day, from various denominations.
Help build this list by adding more to the thread. Or, comment on ones you've tried and share with us your experience with them. Let's all help each other build a great resource in this thread during these tough economic times.
