Partnership Overview
Since our beginnings, we have been driven by a deep conviction that everyone should have the opportunity to hear the gospel at least once. Sadly, there are still thousands of peoples and communities that have never heard about Jesus, ever. We are looking for people with a passion for Jesus and a passion to see vibrant communities of Jesus followers established among the least reached. We focus on evangelism, discipleship and church planting among those who have never yet heard of Christ. Do you share this passion and want to be involved in either pioneering or joining church planting initiatives? If so, we are looking for you, and many more like you, to join us.
Required Skills
We are an International multicultural church plant in the City of Tampere reaching out in the suburb of Hervanta.
Hervanta is a suburb Tampere is home to a technical university and numerous high-tech companies specializing in fields such as mechanics, electronics, and software development. Over 20% of Hervanta's population comes from foreign backgrounds, representing more than 100 different nationalities and language groups. Hervanta has one of the highest unemployment rates among Tampere's suburbs and the lowest income levels.
Our church plant seeks to reach the people who live, study or work in Hervanta with both Finnish and internationals.
We are looking for gospel-centered and mission-minded people to come and engage in our university campus, seek to share the Gospel and invite people to fellowship and worship.

* The jobs listed on this website do not have a set salary. This means that the person who applies will need to raise their own support, which is money that they will use to live on. The amount of support money they need to raise will depend on things like where they are from, if they have a family, and what country they will be working in. There might be some jobs that pay salary, but these are rare and would need to be negotiated with the sending offices and the teams you'd like to serve with. If you have any questions about this, please contact your local home office. Always keep in mind that our ministry depends on generous giving from our partners around the globe and God's ongoing provision. Joining OM is always seen as a step of faith and trust in a God who will provide for our needs through his chosen people.
