For pastors and ministry leaders
The right resume puts you in the room.
Churches are looking right now. Search committees in every state are praying for the right pastor and reading every resume that lands on their table. Don't let the document be what gets in the way — send something that reflects who you are and the work you've put in.
The moment
The churches are looking.
Make sure your resume isn't what gets in the way.
The opportunity
In North and South Carolina alone, more than 2,000 churches were in pastoral transition as of late 2024. Search committees are actively, prayerfully looking — across denominations, across the country.

The bottleneck
The things that actually make you the right fit — the convictions, the way you lead, the kind of room you make better — are the hardest things to put into words. So most resumes leave them out. The resume becomes the bottleneck for the very pastor who'd be a gift to the congregation reading it.
The cost
The average pastoral search runs 12 to 24 months. When the resume is what prolongs the process, faithful work waits — on both sides.

A different way
Built by a ministry leader, for ministry leaders.
Fifteen years in ministry, on leadership teams, and around the hiring tables where these decisions actually get made. This tool exists because the resumes that need to land hardest tend to read the flattest.
The AI isn't generic. Every polish uses Claude by Anthropic, given specific instructions about what ministry leaders actually sound like: humility, grit, competence, plain speech, no corporate buzzwords. It rewrites in your voice — and every paragraph stays editable. If Claude gets it wrong, you get the last word.
Tell us what you've done
Five short sections. Personal info, philosophy, roles, education, skills. Write the way you'd say it to a friend.
We polish as you go
Live AI rewrite on every paragraph, looking for evidence of humility, grit, and competence.

Three styles
Pick a look that fits how you lead.
Each style is built around a different kind of pastor. The samples are real-ish: researched from public biographies of three ministers we admire. Click any one when you start the builder.
Classic · Single column
The Bunyan
Plain-spoken serif resume in a single column. Gold section labels, hairline rules, generous margins.
Modern · Dark sidebar
The Rogers
Deep navy sidebar carries contact, education, and skill chips. Main column tells the story.
Editorial · Book typography
The Spurgeon
Hairline rules, italic summary, gold section labels. Reads like a book chapter, not a job ad.
What's at stake
Don't let the resume be smaller than the work.
The right pastor and the right church are out there looking for each other. Median pastoral tenure is now eight years — when the fit is right, it lasts. Send something that reflects the years you've put in. Then let the work speak.
