Intervarsity Christian Fellowship/USA

289d • $39,288 - $52,392

About The Position

God has called InterVarsity to plant and to build witnessing communities of students and faculty who follow Jesus on college and university campuses. Through these groups, we believe ever-increasing numbers of students and faculty from all ethnic groups and areas of the campus will be transformed by the Gospel. We expect to see campuses increasingly become places where people, ideas, and structures flourish to the glory of God. We confidently anticipate that our InterVarsity alumni will become change agents across the country and around the world. We pursue this calling by discerning and actively participating in what God is already doing on campus. This is the essence of being a Campus Staff Minister (CSM).

Requirements

• Annually affirm InterVarsity's Statement of Agreement (Doctrinal Basis and Purpose Statement).
• Bachelor's degree required for CSMs assigned to a four-year campus; a minimum of an Associate's degree required for CSMs assigned to a two-year campus or community college.
• Strong interpersonal skills (including ability to minister to diverse ethnic communities and faculty).
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Demonstrated problem solving skills.
• Familiarity with word processing, presentation, email, and spreadsheet software.

Responsibilities

• Pursue a vibrant relationship with the triune God through engagement with Scripture, prayer, and worship, both individually and in community.

• Lead students and faculty - individually and collectively - through Scripture, prayer, teaching, and discipleship experiences.
• Set annual goals through prayer, research and reflection with your teams for qualitative and quantitative growth, including conversions and leadership development.
• Create, develop, align and leverage ministry plans, programs, teams, and structures to close the gap between current reality and the aspirational goals.
• Build leadership teams who trust and partner well with you and who demonstrate spiritual vitality, relational health, and mission alignment.
• Develop and execute plans to achieve annual goals, evaluating and modifying the plan as needed throughout the year.
• Mobilize students and faculty to engage their relational networks with the gospel and to start new missional communities.
• Intentionally gather, invite, and develop diverse groups of students and faculty.
• Equip students and faculty to think strategically about campus engagement and to proclaim the good news of Jesus.
• Disciple students and faculty by equipping them to hear the Word, respond actively, and grow in Christlikeness.
• Invite, coach, and equip students and faculty to become increasingly effective participants and leaders.
• Work with a network of other local, area, regional, and national InterVarsity staff and volunteers.
