Campus Fellowship Assistant Director

Walnut Creek Church•Des Moines, IA

About The Position

This position requires someone who is passionate about reaching and discipling college students. This person must have a heart for shepherding people as they will spend most of their waking hours with people. This person should be able to teach God’s word in multiple settings including one-on-one, small group Bible studies, and large groups. They must be developing the ability to be conversant in major college topics - decision making, dating, relational conflict, sexuality, gender, apologetics and so on. They must be willing to help plan events for the college ministry. They must be willing and able to delegate and help train students in a variety of roles. They must be able to handle an ever-changing relational environment where maturity is often lacking. They must maintain their own personal devotions and spiritual development. They must be willing to support the church's ministry by working 10 hr/week in a role within the church. This role is designed to be developmental and somewhat transient in nature (1-2 years) in order to utilize the position to develop, train, and send future church planters, pastors, global missionaries, and church leaders. The next logical role to prepare to fulfill is the Campus Ministry Director Role.
