Missionary In Residence

Online Application Form

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 Articles 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.

ARTICLES OF FAITH

As a Christian institution, John Brown University holds to the interdenominational doctrinal position identified
by the following statements:

  1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative word of God.
  2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  3. 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.
  4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
  5. 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.
  6. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
  7. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
