  Contact us for more information.

• Teaching (high school and middle school)
• Maintenance and new construction
• Girl's and Boy's House Parents (or deans)
• Special ministries: Tutoring lab, Craft house, campus ministry

• If married, both spouses will work for the school in some capacity. Both spouses must be Christians.
• Homeschoolers: OBI employees do not homeschool. Our children go to the school operated child care center (located in the center of campus) and go to k-5 and 6-12 classes with other students. (The only exceptions are special needs children who may attend the local public school.) If you have not thoroughly resolved the issue of homeschooling your children, then you are not ready to consider ministry at OBI. Please be honest with yourself about this issue. If you believe that it is immoral for anyone other than yourself to educate or care for your children, OBI will not be the right ministry setting for you.
• Our employees are compensated, but the financial compensation is modest. (OBI will be difficult for you if you are heavily in debt.)
• Many of our students are not Christians and every staff member should expect to see non-Christian behavior on a daily basis.
• While we have a denominationally diverse staff, our campus church is a small Southern Baptist church. Other churches are available at some distance from campus.
• Our children attend OBI. We provide a staff school through grade 5; then our children attend with boarding students.
• Expect to be immersed in OBI. We spent far more time with students than most ministries or churches. Someone on the OBI staff is involved with our students 24/7/365.
• We are unique and have a strong sense of our program, our values and our heritage. We expect our staff to learn who we are and how we minister. OBI should not be compared with any other Christian school.
• While our students come from all over the U.S and the world, we are part of the mountain culture of rural Eastern Kentucky. Adjustment to a new place and culture is part of every staff member's OBI journey (including homesickness.)

Some of our best staff members work as full-time or part-time volunteers. We would be happy to talk with you about ministering at OBI as a volunteer.

If you are interested in working at OBI, call Dr. W.F. Underwood, OBI President, and he will update you on opportunities in ministry. If appropriate, an information packet and application will be sent out.

Dr. Underwood is available at 606-847-4111 ext 202 or at president@oneidaschool.org.
