Serve
Whether it's a one-time mission trip, a two-to-three year commitment, or a lifetime of service, CBF can connect you with ministry opportunities among the most neglected in a world without borders.
The categories below briefly outline the different ways you can serve. We take seriously our mission to collaborate with churches and other groups to engage in holistic missions and ministries with the most neglected people of this world.
Career, GSC & Affiliate: Learn about full-time ministry assignments
Student.Go: Opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students
Encourager Church: Support the ministries of CBF field personnel
Short-term missions: Learn how individuals and church teams can serve
AsYouGo Affiliate service offers a means for self-supporting personnel to serve through the CBF's field team structure. This may be through their career (tent making) as teachers, professors, business people, medical professionals, etc. It may also be through the direct financial support of partners. Regardless of support structure, the ultimate goal is to have long term self sustaining ministry.

Our positions include a wide variety of locations and types of ministry and are intended to provide students with hands-on missions experience. Students serve for a summer or a semester alongside CBF field personnel and ministry partners in locations around the globe. Not only do the students gain invaluable experience, they also provide invaluable assistance to the ministries with which they work.
