Joining Northwest Baptist Missions as a church planter or church planting team involves four steps:
1. Determine interest and alignment
2. Apply
3. Interview
4. Pre-Ministry Preparation and Training
First, fill out and submit a Preliminary Application. Our Executive Board will review it and send you a formal application upon approval.
Fill out the formal application sent to you, including your doctrinal statement and references, and submit it back to the office. After the Executive Board reviews and approves your application, you will receive a letter of approval, and someone from the mission office will contact you to set up the interview.
Your interview will be held in person — if possible — with the Executive Board seeking to get to know you, your family, and your team more fully. Topics covered will include:
Salvation and call to ministry
Doctrinal views
Convictions and practices
Education and experience
Wife's role and involvement
Family Life
Team philosophy & dynamics
Your pre-ministry training includes attendance at Candidate School, an internship, and team building.
