Serve with a local church. Equip disciple-makers.
Join the team in Pardubice in partnership with a local church that serves as a ministry platform. Through Czech language learning, relational evangelism, hospitality, and biblical discipleship, help local believers grow in faith and equip them to disciple others.
Serve alongside local church leaders in family discipleship and leadership development, using your gifts to strengthen the church’s life and witness. The wider aim is healthy, locally led churches that can send and support disciple-makers for future church multiplication in the region.
Partner with a local church as a ministry platform, equipping local disciple-makers and families toward healthy, locally led churches and future multiplication in the region.
What You’ll Do
- Relational Evangelism: Focus on gaining trust and developing relationships to share the gospel effectively in a context where most people are indifferent or see little relevance to daily life.
- Biblical Discipleship: Conduct one-on-one discipleship according to the Scriptures, providing first-generation believers with a clear model of what it looks like to follow Christ.
- Leadership Training: Train local believers and church leadership in church planting concepts to move the congregation toward becoming a reproducing, local-led body.
- Biblical Modeling: Publicly live out a Christ-centered life to provide a visible, daily model of biblical living within a highly secular setting where many people have little connection with Christian faith.
- Language Acquisition: Commit to the intensive, long-term labor of learning the Czech language and assimilating into the culture to engage meaningfully with the local population.
- Church Equipping: Serve alongside local partners and use personal giftings to strengthen discipleship, service, and the life and witness of the partner church.
- Team Collaboration: Maintain strong communication and interpersonal skills within a diverse team environment to ensure unity and stability on the ground.
- Ministry Development: Work with the Field Director and missionary team to equip local disciple-makers through the partner church and prepare for future church multiplication.
Hospitality & family discipleship: Share everyday life with neighbors and church members, welcome people into your home as appropriate, and help equip parents and families to follow Christ and disciple others.

- At least 2 years of consistent service within a local church.
