Campus Staff Minister - Kansas (Graduate & Faculty Ministry)
About The Position
InterVarsity seeks a Campus Staff Minister (CSM) in Kansas for Graduate & Faculty Ministry. The role develops witnessing communities of graduate students and faculty who follow Jesus, supporting spiritual growth, campus leadership, missional engagement, organizational collaboration, and ministry partnership development. The position is particularly focused on graduate students and faculty at the University of Kansas and graduate students at Kansas State University. The CSM pursues personal spiritual maturity and leads students and faculty through Scripture, prayer, worship, teaching, discipleship, and mission experiences. The role develops ministry vision, goals, programs, teams, and structures; equips students and faculty to share the gospel and lead communities; collaborates with local, area, regional, and national staff and volunteers; and builds a network of financial, prayer, and volunteer partners. The CSM is responsible for raising the full financial budget assigned by their supervisor. The position may include supervising Ministry Interns and Campus Ministry Interns when delegated by the Area Director. The role is based in a college campus environment. A designated office space may or may not be available, and travel to campus and off-campus locations is required, including conferences, partnership-development meetings, training sessions, and other meetings. The position is funded through personal fundraising, so compensation depends on the employee’s ability to secure donor support. The listed salary range is for a 40-hour workweek at CSM level II; pay is prorated for employees working fewer hours. The position is open to applicants working less than 40 hours per week. Volunteer opportunities are also available through a separate application and interview process.
