aXcess: Fresh Start in Green Mountains

We are building a new team in Green Mountains. This beautiful modern country has ancient roots. With one foot in the west and one in the east, it is a dramatic mix of cultures, foods, faiths and ideologies. The country is a gateway between the Middle East and Eastern Europe and thus represents a profoundly strategic place for a movement of churches to take root. Based in but not limited to the capital city, this team will focus on finding relevant strategies to planting a network of indigenous Alliance churches throughout the nation.

Position Type

  • International worker (IW)–aXcess–Vocational Track or Clergy Track 
  • Church planting, creative arts/ethnoarts, discipleship, evangelism, leadership development, outdoor/adventure club 
  • Creative-access country (CAC) 
  • Partially funded 
  • Single or couple

Preferred Qualifications:

Biblical Characteristics Desired: 

Timeline for Deployment: 

Summer/fall 2026. All appointees are required to attend a cross-cultural and language acquisition program and pre-field course/experience prior to deploying. 

General Information: 

The capital is a beautiful eastern European city with all the comforts of home. Known for its arts and restaurant culture, there is plenty to do. Nestled in a beautiful mountain range, nature is all around you and is an important part of the culture and lifestyle.     

Language Expectations: 

Language is an essential part of ministry. Those who do not know the language will attend a language study program. The goal will be to speak, read, and write the language at a functional level in order to mentor, teach, and train others. 

This will be a two-year language program with a mixture of classroom learning and tutoring.   

Health Considerations: 

Although there is a good medical infrastructure for common medical treatment, one might receive more advanced care in a number of nearby countries.   

Expectations for Spouse: 

Spousal roles vary based on the spouse’s gifts, training, and abilities as well as the needs of the team. It is expected that both spouses will be meaningfully involved in meeting ministry objectives depending on the nature of family roles, children, etc. 

Children’s Educational Plan and Options: 

There are various schooling options in the capital city. Our regional education consultant can help you choose the best option for your kids.

Compensation Package

The successful applicant(s) will receive a full compensation package with the expectation that, once appointed, efforts will be made to raise a portion of support costs through the applicant’s network of friends, family, local church, or other resources. Information on support costs will be made available upon application. Training and/or coaching in fundraising is available.

Whole-Life Health

As part of an evangelical denomination, we are committed to biblical holism, which is modeled and reflected through our work. Due to this commitment, part of the required qualifications includes optimal emotional, spiritual, and physical health. These will be assessed during the application process.

Important Clarification

Applicant(s) should be aware that serving in the international world often requires a higher degree of grace and flexibility. For example, overseas teams can be suddenly and unexpectedly impacted by illness, government decisions, financial realities, team changes, or other factors beyond the team’s control. The challenge for applicants is that these factors can sometimes necessitate the sudden redefining of a position, which may take place before, during, or after the application/interview process has begun or is completed.
