Apply to be the Missionaries in Residence at John Brown University

John Brown University is an independent, interdenominational, evangelical institution founded in 1919. Its basic task is to provide Christ-centered higher education that contributes dynamically to the intellectual, spiritual, and occupational effectiveness of men and women in God-honoring living and service.

The university, therefore, seeks active cross-cultural missionaries who subscribe to its Statements of Faith; who understand the roles of their disciplines in Christian education and can interpret them in the light of Christian theology and ethics; who continue to grow in their teaching, scholarship, and service; and who support the university's statement of employment objectives.

Applicants are considered for the Missionary-in-Residence position without regard to color, sex, race, national origin, or physical handicap.

As part of the application process, candidates may be asked to teach a class or conduct a seminar at the time of the interview.

Transcripts should not be sent until requested.

The application deadline is August 1 prior to the year being applied for.

Articles of Faith

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative word of God.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
