Pathfinder Application Form - Georgia Baptist Mission Board

Pathfinder Application

Thank you for your interest in serving as a GBMB Pathfinder. We believe God can use you to help churches discover His vision for renewal and growth. Through our partnership with CORPUS, we equip leaders with proven, Bible-based tools for church revitalization. As a Pathfinder, you will receive a pathfinder notebook and resources, plus ongoing training and support from GBMB. In turn, we ask that you prayerfully invite churches near you to take their first step and receive a copy of The Overseer and next steps with coaching. Submitting this form is only the first step and does not obligate you to pay the CORPUS fee. A GBMB representative will contact you after we receive your application to discuss training and the licensing process.

Ministry/Work Examples

Give a brief example of past ministry or work that prepared you for this role.

Training & Resources: GBMB will provide a CORPUS discipleship book to start coaching new believers, plus teaching materials and one-on-one mentoring as you learn. We will cover 50% of the one-time Pathfinder licensing fee ($500).

Church Connections: We will use our network to help connect you with local churches in need of a Pathfinder (working toward our goal of one Pathfinder within one hour of every Georgia church).

Your Commitment: We ask that you actively pray and seek out churches that need renewal. You know your community better than anyone and we want to leverage that knowledge and relational equity to connect with churches seeking next steps in revitalization.

Ongoing Partnership: You will participate in ongoing training sessions and check-ins. We walk with you as your lead and our goal is to develop healthy churches and healthy leaders to advance the Gospel.

License Fee: The CORPUS licensing fee is $1,000 one-time; GBMB pays $500 (half), and you would pay $500 if you decide to enroll for Pathfinder certification. Note: This application does not require payment, and payment will be made to Corpus Inc., not GBMB.

Nonbinding Notice: Submitting this application is an initial inquiry and does NOT commit you to the license fee or any obligation. It simply indicates your interest. After review, a GBMB representative will contact you to discuss next steps, training schedule, and answer any questions.
