Employment Benefits

The CBN Culture

CBN is a mission-driven ministry whose objective is to proclaim Jesus Christ throughout the world. At the same time, CBN is recognized as a professionally accomplished leader in the field of media and communications. This unique combination provides a work environment that allows team members to grow both professionally and spiritually. The mission of CBN is to help meet both the spiritual and physical needs of people. For CBN team members, this means they can end each workday knowing they have been part of something profoundly important. At CBN, a "job" is not as much a job as it is a calling!
