Mr. Howard Hahn, Chairman

Minister to Students Search Committee

Mountain Hill Baptist Church

2000 Cardinal Pike

Paris, AL 36866

Dear Mr. Hahn:

I am writing in reference to the Minister to Students position announcement that was posted in

the Alabama Baptist newspaper. As I read the position description I was struck by the exciting

and challenging nature of this ministry opportunity. I am enclosing a copy of my résumé for

your consideration as a candidate for the position.

Since my sophomore year of college I have felt God’s clear calling to minister to youth. Through

volunteer ministry, two years of service as a student ministry intern, and the past three years

of serving as Minister to Youth at Providence Baptist Church, my calling has been conﬁrmed

and strengthened. I have a passion to share with young people the Good News of God’s love for

them, and to help nurture their spiritual development. The year of service I spent as a Campus

Ministry Intern also awakened within me a desire to minister to the spiritual needs of college

students.

I hope the enclosed résumé will be helpful in providing you with information you need to

evaluate my qualiﬁcations as a candidate. If you should need any additional information, I will

be very glad to provide it. I would be delighted to speak with you in person about this position

if you feel so led. Feel free to contact me at the phone number or addresses listed above. I

appreciate your time and consideration. Please know of my prayers for your committee and your

church as you seek the Lord’s person to serve as your next Minister to Students.

Sincerely,

(Signature)

Fran Scholar
