Looking for Men Who Want to Change the World
By taking the Gospel into the political arenas of the world, Capitol Ministries is helping to fulfill the Great Commission. This has been our mission from our founding in 1996, and our territories continue to expand. Crucial to this growth is locating qualified Ministry Leader candidates who are equipped to take the Word of God to Public Servants in local, state, national, and international governments.
What follows is an overview of what we are looking for in a potential Ministry Leader. As you read it, please prayerfully consider whether you or someone you know has the qualifications to be a successful candidate and the desire to change the world one heart at a time.
Ministry Leader Job Description
Capitol Ministries’ mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ in political arenas throughout the world by placing qualified and trained Ministry Leaders in local governments, state capitols, and foreign federal capitols.
Capitol Ministries seeks men who are proven, intentional, deliberate, biblically reliant disciple makers to serve the ministry in their local or state governments, or foreign nations. The goal is to provide Bible studies, evangelism, and discipleship to political leaders at every level of their career paths. Political leaders are often far from their homes, families, churches, pastors, and spiritual support, and are often subjected to trials, temptations, and situations in which they need the counsel and support of strong Christians.
Capitol Ministries desires leaders who will lead solid, weekly expositional Bible studies, making disciples and evangelizing others. The Ministry Leader will facilitate regular times of fellowship, organize seminars, provide counseling and network with pastors and mature Christians in the capitol. He will seek to build a fraternity among Christian Public Servants so that they might have the spiritual support they need to bear up under the political pressures of the day and make decisions for the country that are biblically based and pleasing to the Lord. Developing personal relationships with these leaders will be key in establishing effective ministries in these capitols.
