- 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
...
- 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 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 | 1-5 words | University of Michigan | The default comes from your local church or ministry in our database. It can be overridden for individual missionaries as needed. | 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. |
