Mission Service Opportunities with the ELCA
Database Search

Our current listing reflect requests made by ELCA's companion churches or agencies, which are reviewed by staff and approved for recruitment. Typically we have 100 opportunities globally. Positions fall into four categories of service: long-term (usually 4 years+), GM2 (2-years short-term), volunteer (varied length), and Young Adults in Global Mission.

You can search our entire database for mission service opportunities or select search criteria to narrow the options. Further descriptions of service provisions or country of assignment can be found with each entry. Unless otherwise noted, a position is open until it is filled. In some cases an application deadline will be stated.
