About MinistryMatch
Our mission is to guide churches and leaders to the right fit for ministry.
We combine timeless biblical wisdom with leading-edge technologies, proven assessment methodologies, and feature-rich tools to empower you with clarity and confidence.
Clarity in Calling. Confidence in Leadership.
For over 40 years, MinistryMatch has helped pastors, leaders, and churches experience greater clarity in their calling and confidence in their ministry decisions. Built on biblical principles and decades of research, MinistryMatch combines spiritual insight with data-driven precision to help people and churches serve where they are most effective.
A proven process
At the heart of MinistryMatch is a commitment to align people and churches according to their God-given design.
Through a suite of proven tools, assessments, and guided processes, we help individuals discover their unique calling, churches clarify what kind of leader they need, and denominations strengthen leadership alignment across their network.
You care deeply about finding the right fit for ministry—we do too, and that’s exactly what MinistryMatch is designed to help you do.
Theory put in practice
Our Founder, Bob Gillam, was one of the top 5 church consultants in America
His vision for MinistryMatch was simple yet profound: to help churches and leaders align their God-given design with their ministry role—so that both can flourish.
Our Commitment
MinistryMatch continues to build on that vision today, combining new technology with the same biblical and spiritual principles that have guided us from the beginning.
We remain committed to helping every individual, church, and denomination find the right fit for ministry—because when God’s people serve according to their design, the Church thrives.
Take the next step toward clarity in calling and confidence in leadership—start your MinistryMatch journey.
Who We Serve
Individuals
Helping individuals discover their design for ministry
The MinistryMatch Assessment provides insight into a person’s unique values, strengths, and ministry style. The assessment helps individuals discern where their God-given design aligns with opportunities to serve and lead effectively.
Churches
Guiding churches to identify and call the right pastor
MinistryMatch walks churches through a proven pastoral search process to define their leadership needs, evaluate candidates with clarity, and make confident, prayerful placement decisions that build unity and long-term health.
Denominations
Strengthening the leadership across your network
MinistryMatch offers a consistent, data-informed framework for supporting churches in their pastoral placement efforts. Denominations use these tools to strengthen pipelines and align leaders with ministry opportunities across their network.
Why It Matters
Too often, churches make leadership decisions based on what looks good on paper or feels good in the moment… only to discover months later that the match wasn’t right. That mismatch is costly—financially, relationally, spiritually, and missionally.
MinistryMatch was created to change that.
We have a passion to deliver tools that are…
- rooted in Scripture,
- informed by decades of real-world experience,
- and enhanced by modern technology
…and we’ve helped thousands of churches and leaders find clarity in calling and confidence in leadership.
If you’re navigating a season of transition or growth, we’re here to help.
