A Guide to Finding an Acts 29 Job
An overview of Acts 29, their job board, and where to find gospel-centered ministry opportunities.
If you're searching for Acts 29 jobs or wondering what the Acts 29 job board offers, you're in the right place. Acts 29 is a global network of churches committed to church planting and gospel-centered ministry, and their job board is one of the main places where churches and candidates connect. Here's an overview of Acts 29, how their job board fits into their ministry, what kinds of roles you'll find, and why SolaJobs is also a great resource for like-minded opportunities.
What Is Acts 29?
Acts 29 is a theologically-driven, gospel-centered organization and global network of churches bound together by relationship, theology, and mission. They exist to plant churches worldwide by recruiting, assessing, training, and supporting church planters. The network offers church leaders decades of experience-proven training, guidance, and tools for planting churches designed to grow and thrive. They affirm the Lausanne Covenant and embrace a reformed view of salvation, with distinctives that include the local church as God's primary mission strategy, the equality of men and women with male servant leadership, the work of the Holy Spirit, sovereign grace, and gospel centrality in all of life. Churches in the network span multiple regions, including the US, Europe, Latin America, Africa, Asia Pacific, and Canada.
The Role of the Acts 29 Job Board in Their Ministry
The Acts 29 job board is a central tool for connecting Acts 29 network churches with staff and for helping candidates find Acts 29 jobs. Listings are specifically for churches in the Acts 29 network even if a church is like-minded, if it's not an Acts 29 church, it won't be listed there. Churches in the network can submit job openings for free here. The board also includes roles within the Acts 29 network itself (e.g., regional or central office positions), so it's the place to look when you're focused on serving at an Acts 29 church or within the network.
What Kinds of Roles Are on the Acts 29 Job Board?
The Acts 29 job board includes a wide range of ministry and support roles. Categories you'll typically see include:
- Lead Pastor – Senior preaching and shepherding roles
- Executive Pastor – Operations, strategy, and leadership support
- Campus Pastor – Multi-site and campus leadership
- Worship Ministry – Worship leadership and music ministry
- Family Ministry (Youth, Children, etc.) – Next-gen and family-focused roles
- Men's/Women's Ministry – Discipleship and gender-specific ministry
- Residency – Church planting and pastoral residencies
- Internship – Internships for emerging leaders
- Acts 29 Offices – Roles on the Acts 29 network staff
- Other – Additional ministry and support positions
Listings can be filtered by keywords, location, and category (e.g., role type), so you can narrow your search to the kind of role that fits your calling. It's also worth noting that their job board also has jobs from non-church organizations such as Apartment Life so it's still a valuable resource if you're looking for a job outside the church.
How Often Are Jobs Posted?
Generally 1-5 jobs are posted daily. Listings go up when churches submit them through the Acts 29 site so there's no fixed schedule. It's worth checking the Acts 29 job board regularly, and using their filters (location, category, keywords) to find roles that match your gifts and stage of life as there's not currently a way to setup alerts on keywords or criteria like there are on some other job sites. Once you find a role that fits, our pastoral interview tips and tips for standing out when applying can help you prepare.
SolaJobs: A Great Resource for Like-Minded Churches Outside the Network
The Acts 29 job board is the right place for roles at Acts 29 network churches. If you're still looking for like-minded, gospel-centered churches but outside the Acts 29 network, SolaJobs is a great resource. SolaJobs is built for churches and candidates who care about Reformed theology, biblical ministry, and a clear philosophy of ministry, many of whom share similar values to Acts 29 but are not part of the network. Our suggestion: use the Acts 29 job board when you want to serve at an Acts 29 church; use SolaJobs when you want that same kind of theology and ministry in a church that isn't necessarily in the network. Both can help you find the right fit.
