Opportunities

While "college" is in the name, Christian Union Bible College (CUBC) is more similar to a training institute. The men and women who attend CUBC have had minimal education and often struggle with learning in a classroom. However, this has not stopped God from calling them into full-time ministry! CUBC exists to provide quality training to these men and women in order for them to fulfill God's call on their life.

We need people to disciple and train these men and women! We are looking for people who are passionate about discipleship and spiritual formation, as well as theological education. Our students learn so much more than how to teach and preach God's Word. They learn what it means to be a follower of Jesus, and how following Him transforms lives, communities, and countries.

Applicants must have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree from a Bible college or university, preferably in pastoral ministries or theology. Teachers need to be able to develop lesson plans and facilitate discussion-based learning.

• Christian Union Church, formed in 1964 by Churches of Christ in Christian Union missionaries, currently has about 120 congregations and approximately 90 national pastors in seven districts and areas. While some churches have buildings, other congregations meet in grass huts or under trees.
