I want to be a part of a small country church, baptist or bible (non-denominational), and devote my life to doing God's will helping others. I just wonder how I would go about finding single men in the ministry.

So your potential husband's line of work is more important than the man himself? That sounds very calculating. And moreover, why do you have to specifically marry a pastor to be able to devote your life to doing God's will? I know plenty of people who aren't married to pastors who claim to be doing God's will. Do you really think that just getting to be the preacher's wife is going to make you happy? That that's all it will take? Really?

This is just my opinion, so you're absolutely welcome to ignore it if you'd like.
I don't believe you should look for a single pastor to be your husband. There's far more to anyone (including pastors) than their profession. I'm sure your marraige would also last longer and be more fulfilled if you're interested in more than their being a pastor.
Go ahead and devote your life to ministry, though. You don't need to be a pastor's wife to become a working part of the church. You just have to be open with what God asks you to do. It can include small things like readying worship every Sunday (small but important) to something bigger like going to a foreign country to tell the Good News.
Don't worry too much about "finding" a husband. In time, God himself will tell you when you've met someone you should spend the rest of your life with. And not only will you love him for who he is and how God created him, but he will feel the same about you.
In anycase, I see that you want to devote your life to ministry. This is something Jesus wants all Christians to do, even at seemingly insignificant levels. Just go for it! I'm praying for you (right as I type this).

First find the religion you want to belong to, then find where they train their pastors. For example, I am Lutheran, and we have two seminaries, one in Fort Wayne and another in St. Louis. Lots of single men there, but many are so devote the won't marry outside of their own religion.
but, I am the wife of a pastor - while I love my faith, my husband, and my church, it is a life much harder than most imagine. Husband is on duty 24/7, all hours the phone rings, vacations are cut short, days off are few and far between and when things do not go their way, people in the church can get downright hateful - hard to imagine if they are Christian, but they can get awful. If we could choose another life, we would.

patience for god knew you before you were born and knows the desires of your heart. He has just the man for you but you must be patient and wait, he will bring that man to you. You require a customized man for your husband, it will take time but in the end you will find it worth the wait. Be patient and be vigilant, Jesus has set aside a man for you that is every thing you want in a man, when the time comes you will know, there is no mistaking an act of god.

Don't go shopping for a mate. Even a righteous one.
If its that important to you, pray continually to God about it. If HE wants you to marry a preacher, he'll bring you one. It is most important that you submit to the will of God.
Remember that submission is the life of a pastor's wife. You must submit to him so he can submit to God without distraction. And you must be an example to other christian women.

I would think that many ladies would love to be married to a minister. Because, of his integrity something I admire. The fact that he may be faithful meaning that he would fear God..... so he would be more likely to not break the ten commandments. I would absolutely adore a man like that.

You say you want to marry a pastor, but what if God wants you to do something else. I would hate to think that you are going after something that God does not have in store for you.

I have married a minister. It's not all that great of a life. Guess what they are just like most other men. Just when they head in to church every one tends to look the other way because they are the Minister.
