On Mission
In Acts 1:8, our Lord Jesus gave a commission to win the lost and develop them as His disciples, beginning in our city and extending to our region, our nation, and around the world. By taking this commission seriously, Englewood Baptist Church has been transformed into a global missions center. Missions is not a program here; it is who we are and what we do!

Opportunities to Serve
The International Mission Board
More details about the following opportunities and pathways can be found by going to www.imb.org/go. Here you can chat live with an IMB employee about what pathway might be right for you. You can also send them an email at sray@imb.org.
Short Term Opportunities:
Adults wanting to take the gospel to the nations on a short-term trip, lasting anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months, can find a plethora of opportunities for both individuals and groups at www.imb.org/trips.
Medical professionals wanting to use their gifts for a short-term assignment can get more information by going to www.imb.org/healthcare.
Mid-Term to Long-Term Opportunities:
TEAM ASSOCIATE
A Team Associate is not funded through the IMB but works closely with an IMB church-planting team. This individual generally uses his or her profession overseas while supporting a church-planting effort. They serve two year assignments.
JOURNEYMAN
IMB offers a unique, fully funded, two year missions opportunity for college graduates under age 30. Journeymen are sent by their church through IMB to join an international missionary team to share the gospel, make disciples and help plant churches. For more information go to: www.imb.org/students/go-2-years-journeyman/
MACEDONIA PROJECT
This is for individuals who have a long-term call but do not have seminary training yet. Those who sign up for this program go to the field and take seminary clasess while they are working on a church-planting team. The IMB pays for half of the degree, while the seminary covers the other half (one of six Southern Baptist Seminaries). There is no age limit for this pathway. Macedonia workers serve three to four years and are funded through the IMB.
TWO + TWO
The Two + Two program is another avenue through the seminaries. The first two years are spent at a seminary, and the last two years are spent working with a church-planting team on the field. This option is not funded through a scholarship. The last two years overseas are IMB-funded.
INTERNATIONAL SERVICE CORPS
This program is for anyone who wants to go, but doesn’t want to go long-term. An individual can serve for two or three years on missionary church-planting teams. No college degree or seminary credits are required. Retirees would be encouraged to go this route, if they wanted to spend a few years on the field. This opportunity is also IMB-funded.
FIELD SUPPORT
Field support roles include professionals who work in logistics, finance or some other role that directly supports church planters and other IMB personnel on the field. They work overseas and do share the gospel, but most of their time is spent on their professional role. The IMB fully funds this position.
CAREER MISSIONARY
A Career Missionary serves as a church planter. They begin their first four-year term as an apprentice missionary, and work alongside an established church-planting team. On their next term, they return as a church planter. Their full time job is the core missionary task. They are fully funded and this would be a long-term pathway.
MISSIONARY ASSOCIATE
An associate does the same work as a church planter, but they do not have to have a seminary background. It is an ideal role for someone who has pastored or worked in ministry for many years but has no seminary degree. The requirement here is a life experience requirement. This is IMB-funded and a long-term pathway.
