ChurchJobsOnline

What ChurchJobsOnline does

ChurchJobsOnline.com is a privately held, US-based niche job board platform founded in 1997 that connects churches and ministry organizations with ministry job seekers across denominations including Southern Baptist, non-denominational, Assemblies of God, Lutheran, Methodist, and Presbyterian bodies. Its core offering is a web-based self-serve job posting platform that allows churches to publish listings with free basic distribution or to upgrade to featured postings ($99 for 30 days up to $299 for post-until-filled, up to one year) that are automatically syndicated to major aggregators — Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, Google Careers, The Gospel Coalition, SimplyHired, Jooble, and Adzuna — and surfaced in a newsletter reaching 30,000+ subscribers. The platform also exposes a searchable resume database of more than 27,000 ministry professionals.

Revenue is generated through a layered freemium-to-premium model. A 30-day free basic posting is offered to churches with annual budgets under $200,000. Paid tiers include 1-month, 3-month, and 1-year featured listings, multi-job bundles (3, 6, or 10 postings at $238–$599), and a Church Leadership Recruiting Package priced at $1,995 that bundles a dedicated recruiter, AI-powered candidate matching against a 60,000+ resume corpus, professional job-description writing, and seminary/college board distribution. Companion services include a Career Fit Test™ assessment and content marketing via career-advice articles, SEO, and email.

The company operates as a bootstrapped, founder-controlled business under CEO Kevin Brennfleck (a National Certified Career Counselor) and Kay Marie Brennfleck, alongside a related ecosystem of ChristianCareerCenter.com, ChristianJobFair.com, CareerFitTest.com, and LiveYourCalling.com. Go-to-market combines self-serve PLG purchasing, free 30-minute staffing consultations as a top-of-funnel for the recruiting package, and content-driven inbound traffic from major Christian sites. No venture funding, acquisitions, or institutional ownership are disclosed; contact operations are centered on a Southern California phone number.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• MinistryJobs.com: Online job board focused on ministry positions including pastor, worship, youth, and other church staff roles. Direct competitor in the same niche market with a similar employer-and-candidate audience.
• ChurchStaffing.com: Direct competitor operating a job board and staffing agency for churches and ministry professionals. Closely comparable business model with job posting, resume database, and recruiting services targeted at the same church-staffing niche.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn: Professional network with broad job board functionality that distributes ChurchJobsOnline's featured postings. Indirect competitor for general professional roles but without the faith-based screening and niche ministry focus that defines ChurchJobsOnline's value proposition.
• Indeed: Largest horizontal job board and a key distribution partner that ChurchJobsOnline syndicates featured postings to. Competes indirectly via free general job posting, but lacks faith-based specialization, denominational filtering, and theological screening.
• ZipRecruiter: Major horizontal job board and syndication partner. Offers general AI-driven matching across industries but does not specialize in faith-based or ministry hiring, and therefore lacks the theological screening that ChurchJobsOnline provides.
• The Gospel Coalition: Faith-based evangelical organization that operates a job board for Christian and ministry positions. Overlaps with ChurchJobsOnline's market but operates as part of a broader ministry content and publishing platform rather than a dedicated niche job board.
• Christianity Today: Major Christian media organization that maintains a job board for Christian employment as part of its broader news and content mission. Indirect peer through faith-based job distribution, though job listings are secondary to its core editorial offering.
• Glassdoor: Major job board with employer-branding focus and a distribution partner for ChurchJobsOnline featured postings. General-purpose job platform without faith-based specialization or denominational filtering.

Others

• ChristianCareerCenter.com: Sister platform under the same leadership (Kevin Brennfleck) that extends into broader Christian employment — including para-church organizations and nonprofits — plus career counseling. Operationally adjacent but with a wider scope than ChurchJobsOnline's church-only focus.

Emerging players

• WorshipLeader.com: Niche community and resource platform for worship leaders that includes job postings alongside training content. Smaller and more specialized than ChurchJobsOnline, focused specifically on worship ministry roles rather than full church staffing across all departments.
