Each ministry personnel will have a page on ChurchHub.ca
You can fill out your profile and request the Office of Vocation minister post your profile as available for call, appointment, or pulpit supply.
Once your profile is posted, it can be seen by communities of faith who also have a posted profile.
Both ministers’ and COF profiles can be searched using filters

Ministry Personnel Profile
The purpose of a ministry personnel profile is:

Community of Faith Profile
The purpose of a community of faith profile is:
to articulate the community’s witness to the gospel;
