Catalyze Team Leader (Undergraduate Ministries)

InterVarsity Christian Fellowship

6d•$22 - $26•Remote

About The Position

To advance the purpose of InterVarsity, this position will plant and build witnessing communities of students and faculty who follow Jesus on college and university campuses. When InterVarsity launched the 2030 Calling in 2017, our best data revealed that there were approximately 1,300 campuses in the country with enrollments of at least 1,000 students but without a known gospel witness– a number that represented roughly 50% of the campuses in the country. Over the last eight years, through the collaborative efforts of the EveryCampus coalition to mobilize prayer, partnership, and planting, we’ve seen that number drop to only ~450 remaining “No-Known-Ministry” (NKM) campuses. The Catalyze Team is InterVarsity’s primary organizational strategy to invest in this missional gap in the hopes that by 2030 there would be no campus left in the country without a known gospel movement. ESSENTIAL COMMITMENTS Spiritual Growth Pursue maturity as a disciple of Jesus Christ so that your life and work increasingly reflect a growing love for God, God’s Word, God’s people of every ethnicity and culture, and God’s purposes in the world.
