Village Missions is seeking pastors with missionary hearts to serve rural communities in North America. Our missionaries serve in small towns and rural areas where there is just one church faithfully teaching the Bible. The missionary pastor helps the church thrive spiritually and leads them to share Christ with their community effectively. Rural evangelism is a relational process of patiently building trust and credibility over time, leading to lasting spiritual impact.

Missionary‑pastor is a full‑time ministry role for men and their families if they are married. Housing and medical are provided, along with an adequate salary, supplemented with some ministry partner support that is fund raised. Additionally, Village Missions provides missionary care and coaching throughout the missionary’s ministry career.

Village Missions currently serves 170 country churches in the United States and another 30 with our sister ministry in Canada.
