We are happy to provide the following 200+ job descriptions for you free of charge. (A special thanks to those churches who have made their job descriptions available here!) The following links are to Microsoft Word, text, and rich text documents. Some of the documents are rather large, and may take a few extra seconds to download. Feel free to use these job descriptions as great starters for your own specific job descriptions.

Also, check out "The Big Book of Job Descriptions for Ministry" for even more job descriptions and useable resources on CD-ROM.

The Big Book of Job Descriptions for Ministry: Identifying Opportunities and Clarifying Expectations for Ministry
By Larry Gilbert & Cindy Spear
When Church Growth Institute received calls from several churches asking for job descriptions, they began researching the topic and found that the majority of churches—no matter the size—did not have written job descriptions, yet they wanted them. This manual is the tool any church or organization can use to develop comprehensive job descriptions. It is reproducible to use the descriptions as is, plus it includes a CD-ROM to help churches customize to their needs. Includes descriptions for positions from executive pastor to cookie baker, from administrative assistant to puppeteer, from usher to pantry organizer. Besides the job descriptions, you may discover a ministry you might never have thought of and expand your church's ministry in the process!
