We are looking for a qualified individual(s) who would like to take over an existing ministry. Our current staff are transitioning out of the director role. Last year the group was about 60 students.

Bemidji is a small college town in the Northwest part of Minnesota. The campus is located on beautiful Lake Bemidji. Anyone who enjoys a smaller campus (about 5,000) and the Northwoods would be a great fit.

You would be part of a district that has a great family culture and lots of support. Currently we are raising funds for a new director. We have raised a considerable amount for the first two to three years. Contact Mike if interested.
