The Most Impactful Ministry Fair of 2021
Leaders and Church organizations are coming to connect with Liberty students. This is a chance for students to hear about job opportunities and internships available.

Getting Prepared
In the weeks prior to the fair both Career Services and the school of divinity staff help give students tools and tips to prepare. Here’s what John Armstrong the Director of Experiential Learning in the School of Divinity advised to students who are nervous about finding the right ministry.
“The fair isn’t a marriage and students aren’t looking for a spouse (the one perfect ministry). They are encouraged to talk with and book interviews with as many ministries as possible and are looking for a ministry they resonate with that can train them in their major.” – John Armstrong.
The opportunities for jobs and internships doesn’t stop the day of the fair though.
“Many ministries will stay a few extra days to do in depth interviews with students. So, students should also prepare to meet with ministries on Wednesday through Friday after the fair.” – John Armstrong.
Meeting with your Career Coach can help you feel more prepare and ease the nerves leading up to the day of the event.
