The mission of GFA Church Staffing is to be your trusted source for assistance in connecting like-minded churches and candidates in their pursuit of filling open pastoral staff positions.
GFA believes that we must be strong at home to be strong abroad. By God’s grace, we desire to do all within our power and means to strengthen North American churches. Therefore, GFA encourages and strengthens USA churches through church planting, church staffing, church revitalization and consultation. We believe that there are thousands of like-minded American churches and preachers who share our essential biblical and historical convictions. We serve conservative independent churches primarily of a Baptistic persuasion.
We are a team of experienced Christian servants who are eager to assist churches
and candidates by providing a crossroad of contacts for one another.
