Page History
Your Reliant.org web profile is the center of how donors find you and give. It borrows that "Facebook" look that communicates to financial partners at a glance what you and your ministry are all about. Most importantly, this is where people come to give!

Biographical Information
Missional Role or Title
...
- Appears below your photo
- Very short: 2-8 words on your title, role
- Use the most "MTD friendly" description, not necessarily an official job title (not "Staff Level 2")
- For most cases you'll capitalize each word as if it's a title.
- e.g. "Campus Missionary" "Pastor" "Associate Pastor in Missional Church" "Church Planting Pastor with Evangelism Focus" "Missionary to the Japanese People" "Minister, Gospel-Teller, Apostle, Bible-Believer"
- Couples can be creative with this space. Some may choose to list collectively e.g. "Campus Missionaries, "Missionary Family" or specifically separately "Campus Minister & Women's Minister" like a caption.
About My Ministry
2-3 short paragraphs about your ministry: the need, the answer to the need, your role and heart.
- Describe your vision and ministry role for financial & prayer partners.
- Two paragraphs is ideal because it looks nice. Aim for 2-4 sentences each, or 4 to 8 sentences total.
- Did you have a profile on the GCM Reliant website? This is nearly double the space, so feel free to use it.
- Tips:
- Give a summary of what you do.
- Include key titles (e.g. “Director of Worship & Outreach.”). Add concrete responsibilities or specialties (“small group coaching” or “evangelism specialist”).
- Mention the mission field or need and include the gospel (“40,000 student mission field who need to hear the good news of Christ”).
- Describe your heart or vision "Jason desires that every person in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago would know the love of Jesus Christ"
- Spouse in ministry can include another paragraph to describe what the other does.
- Write in the third person. (Jason does... he likes to... not "I do, I like to...)
- Avoid:
- Local church jargon that might be hard to understand for a wider Christian audience (e.g. “canvas group”)
- Listing everything you do; choose key responsibilities.
- Uncommon abbreviations.

Missional Location and Address
| Format | Example | Where it Comes From | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Missional Location | 1-5 words | University of Michigan | The default comes from your local church or ministry in our database. | Flexible description of mission field as described for financial and prayer partners. This is often university, community, urban center, institution, people group. It is not your church or ministry name—this should appear as a partner card lower on your profile. Examples:
Tip: While this works well for campus ministers and metro areas, not everyone has a clear separate Missional Location. Leave it blank to make it disappear. | |
| Missional Address | City, ST | Ann Arbor, MI | Your local church or ministry address in our database. | This uses the address of the church or ministry you work with. It does not use a personal address. Select "My Missional Address is Outside the United States" if your missional address is international. | |
| Tips | Your missional location and address can be overridden for individual missionaries as needed. You can always check "Revert to default Missional Address and Location" to revert your changes to the information from your local church or ministry. | ||||

More Tips and Questions
Match Your Web Profile and Missionary Profile Card
The missionary profile card (ordered on the CopyCat website) is designed to point new financial partners to your web profile. We think using the same (or similar) photos in both places will help financial partners instantly recognize you. (See MTD Print Orders on CopyCat)
