The Looking Team is a long-time part of the Siburt Institute’s ministry, as we work to help churches looking for new ministers and ministers looking for new church roles. This ministry expands on the legacy of Dr. Charles Siburt, as several Siburt Institute team members meet regularly to discuss openings, candidates, and potential pairings. While we cannot guarantee a perfect fit, we do our best to facilitate “matches” with good potential for compatibility. Throughout the process, we’re careful to follow your lead on the level of confidentiality you prefer.

To get started, fill out the Looking Team Interest Form to tell us about yourself and the type of position you seek. We will confirm that we have received your information, and we may coach you through updating your resume. As we share your name and resume with churches, you can expect to hear directly from those churches who would like to know more about you.

To get started, fill out the Looking Team Contact (Church) form to let us know about your church, the open position, and your contact information. We will briefly touch base with you within a few business days of receiving your information. After that, someone on our team will reach out to you, and they will remain your primary Looking Team contact throughout the process. They may set up a time to talk with you by phone to learn more about what you’re looking for, then they will share multiple ministers’ names and resumes with you, enabling you to reach out directly to these ministers.
