  1. Seo is actually the technique of obtaining much higher placement in the all-natural search results page
    of Google.com, Yahoo and MSN. The online search engine that matter one of the most are Google along with a 62% advertising and marketing portion Yahoo along with
    twenty% and MSN floating about with approximately 10% in market share ‘that
    suggests the online search engine you need to choose
    is Google.com trigger Google definitely possesses
    the highest amount of individuals are looking online.

  2. ChurchJobFinder does not offer the most basic of services found on job hiring sites like Indeed, Facebook, ZipRecruiter, etc. I would not recommend using this service.

    The price substantial compared to other services, leading one to believe that it offered what most less-costly services offer, including times your job description has been viewed, interacted with, or even what the market in your area is.

    I tried several times to contact the company to inquire about these things and multiple calls and emails went unreturned. Although they did try to reconcile and refund $20.

    As an employer, this service is not worth the substantial amount and according the Church Today (which is where I found them at number 1) article where they’re listed, it says they offer free listing on Indeed. That is not true.

    • Nathan, Thanks for your comment. This list is listed in alphabetical order. I’m sorry that you’ve had a bad experience. This list just aims to list church-specific job sites, so I would highly recommend churches to make the best possible choice for their ministry needs. Thanks, Lauren
