About Biblical Training.org

Biblical Training.org is a 501(c)(3), donor-funded ministry that provides free, high-quality Bible education to "every Christian, everywhere, forever." Founded by Dr. Bill Mounce and led today by Bill Mounce (Founder) and Rob Marcello (President), BT offers classes across four levels - Basics, Foundations, Academy, and Institute - taught by a growing roster of world-class professors, pastors, and authors. In FY26 alone, BT welcomed 25,000+ new learners and saw 146,000+ lessons completed, on top of 880,000+ site visits over the past year.

BT is ECFA-accredited and entirely crowdfunded - there is no tuition or paywall.

BT is entering an exciting season of growth, and our strategic plan puts donor relationships and development strategy at the center of what's next. This role is where that vision comes to life - and it's built to be highly relational: your success will come from genuinely connecting with the people who make BT's mission possible, not just running campaigns behind a screen.

You're joining at a pivotal, energizing moment. BT already has a global following - 880,000+ site visits and 25,000+ new learners this past year alone, in nearly every country on earth - and a small, close-knit, growing team ready to invest in building real relationships with the people who support this mission. Here's where you'll make your mark:

• Build relationships at scale. You'll get to know our learners as people, not just numbers - building warm, personal on-ramps (in-app invitations, post-class conversations, thoughtful email touchpoints) that turn free learners into engaged, joyful supporters.
• Grow our recurring-giving family. Our Ministry Partner community already gives from the heart every month. You'll get to deepen those relationships with tiered giving levels, a genuine welcome experience, and personal check-ins that make every partner feel seen.
• Launch a mid-tier giving community. You'll create something new: a mid-tier giving community for donors ready for a closer relationship with BT - personal calls, handwritten notes, and stewardship that feels like friendship, not a transaction.
• Help set our development strategy. You'll shape BT's first annual development strategy from the ground up - goals, calendar, and a giving rhythm for the year - working closely with the President and the wider team to bring it to life.
• Build the systems behind great relationships. You'll build the donor data and CRM practices that help us remember what matters to each supporter, so every relationship gets more personal as we grow, not less.
• Team up across the organization. You'll partner closely with our Website Director and the rest of the team, aligning development and marketing so every touchpoint - web, email, and campaign - feels like one coherent, welcoming relationship with BT.

• Build genuine, personal relationships with our Ministry Partners and mid-level donors - calls, notes, and regular check-ins that make people feel like true partners in the mission, not names on a list.
• Set and own BT's development strategy: the annual plan, fundraising calendar, budget, and channel mix across email, web, and direct appeals, shaped in close collaboration with the President.
• Plan and run BT's seasonal and year-end giving campaigns (Giving Tuesday, December appeal, spring campaign), in partnership with the Website Director.
• Grow the Ministry Partner recurring-giving community: design tiered giving levels, a warm onboarding experience, and thoughtful re-engagement for anyone who's stepped away.
• Launch and grow BT's mid-tier giving community for donors ready for a closer relationship with BT - personalized outreach, upgrade paths, and dedicated stewardship.
