We’re excited that you are considering joining us at Awaken Church through Reliant! Reliant is a faith-based nonprofit that partners with missional churches and Gospel-centered nonprofits to mobilize support-based missionaries for the Great Commission. Through Reliant, we provide missionaries with the resources, training, and support needed to thrive in their calling, including the critical process of raising financial and prayer support. Whether you're pursuing a short-term internship, a long-term residency, or a career in ministry, we are here to support and guide you every step of the way.
Here are a couple of quick thoughts to help you through the assessment process:
In this application, you will go through a series of stages:
- Application - This is the initial application for Reliant.
- Ministry Assessment - This assesses your readiness for your ministry role.
- Moral Conduct - This assesses your emotional and character-based readiness for a role in ministry.
- Local Interview - In this phase, you will do an interview with your church leadership.
- Reliant Review - Reliant will review all the pieces of your application and create a summary to discuss with your local church.
- Decision/Discernment - Reliant and your church will come together to make an employment decision.
- Provisionally Accepted - If you are accepted onto staff, you will have the opportunity to accept your offer, if desired.
- Onboarding - This will include online (and potentially in-person) training and HR paperwork. This is designed to prepare you to become a Reliant employee, as well as ready you to raise financial support.
Note: Once you begin a questionnaire within a stage, you will need to complete that stage fully. You are not able to save within a stage. Please set aside ample time to complete each stage.
