Midwest Call Finder

The Midwest Call Finder site is live! Thanks to the Synod of Lincoln Trails, all congregations in
the presbytery have this new tool at their disposal when they are seeking pastors, musicians, youth
directors, Christian educators, administrative assistants, custodians, and other church staff.  Likewise,
pastors and other church professionals can access this website to learn about available positions in
our region. There is no fee to use Midwest Call Finder. Your per capita dollars have made this possible.
