Career Opportunity: Church, Organization, Pastoral Counseling Center

Our Daily Bread, Missions Organization

Independent

Church, Organization, Pastoral Counseling Center,

Fellowship House or Church School Charter

We welcome this opportunity to invite you to join our growing family of independent Chartered Churches, Organizations, Pastoral Counseling Center, or Church School*. As a chartered member you will retain full authority over all of your organizations actions and activities. The charter gives a formal recognition to your ministry and your ministries name. This is something that many of the people that we License to be Ministers find useful when establishing their new ministry formally in your state, county, or even foreign country.

Our mission is to help you become established as a part of the solution to the problems that exist today. Our desire is to help individuals who are called to ministry with a legal entity, studies, expertise, staff if desired or interns as available, and in some cases financing, all in an organized effort to help meet the needs of people on a global basis.

You may ask why? The first reasons in that we desire for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. God’s will was done through Jesus and God’s will can be done through all those that give their life to Him. Simply put we win if God wins. If God does not win, we all stand to loose. Secondly, in the denominational church today there is much duplication in effort and as a result often times those that need the help the most fall between the cracks. What is needed in the body today to meet the needs of individuals, families, and communities is unity and the body to work as one. We all need to learn to work together to solve the problems of hunger and starvation, homelessness, poverty, and disease if there will be a future not only for us but our children as well.

As an independent Church, Organization, Pastoral Counseling Center, or Church School you will have the freedom to operate under Christian boundaries, but you will have the expertise of a global organization behind you in your calling and work. You will have the authority to train fellow Christians in the work and License them as Ministers to help you in your calling and purpose. The only thing that you are required to agree to as a part of Our Daily Bread, Missions Organization is our Articles of Faith and ethical codes established for proper conduct of clergy, staff, and members of the Associations. The other thing that is required on a quarterly basis is to send reports on activities and people that you are Licensing in your Organization so they will be recognized by us and the annual renewal fee of $36* for filing the reports.
