For us, the ideal church placement is with a mission partner whom your church is already supporting.
If this is your situation and you would like Crosslinks to manage the admin on your behalf, please get in touch with Jaki North.
If your church doesn’t currently support Crosslinks mission partners, that doesn’t mean you can’t do a church placement with us. Below is a list of organisations in Africa and Asia which are set up to manage medium to large groups.
To go on a placement with Crosslinks, you will need to satisfy the following requirements. You must:
- be a committed Christian.
- have a safeguarding certificate (can be done online).
- have an enhanced DBS check (can be done through Crosslinks).
