The posting

Campus Staff Minister - Grand Rapids Area / Grand Valley State University (Undergraduate Ministry)

Work Location:

Michigan

Job Type:

Full time

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).

The Grand Rapids CSM will work with students and faculty at campuses such as Grand Valley State University, Davenport University, and Grand Rapids Community College. Several of these ministries, especially at Grand Valley State University and Davenport University, have been experiencing significant momentum and growth in the past 3 years - we are looking for someone who can help take the ministry to the next level. Additionally, if desired, there are opportunities to specialize in Greek, Athletes, and ethnic-specific ministries as well.

ESSENTIAL COMMITMENTS/RESPONSIBILITIES

Spiritual Growth

You pursue maturity as a disciple of Jesus Christ so that your life and work increasingly reflects a growing love for God, God’s Word, God’s people of every ethnicity and culture, and God’s purposes in the world. To do this, you will:

  • Pursue a vibrant relationship with the triune God through engagement with Scripture, prayer, and worship, both individually and in community
  • Develop self-leadership (growing in self-awareness, self-management, relational integrity, and resiliency)
  • Embrace Scriptural standards for behavior and attitudes

Campus Leadership

You communicate and model InterVarsity’s vision to see students and faculty transformed, campuses renewed and world changers developed

  • Create a culture of humble dependence on God and bold expectation in God’s intention to start new witnessing communities throughout the campus and on new campuses
  • Model – in person and through programs – InterVarsity’s vision and Core Values, including a biblically-defined commitment to engage every ethnic and social group on campus
  • Lead students and faculty – individually and collectively – through Scripture, prayer, teaching, and discipleship experiences, so that they articulate and align their ministry activities around this vision
  • Set annual goals through prayer, research and reflection with your teams (students, faculty, and staff) for qualitative and quantitative growth, including conversions and leadership development

You 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
  • Increase momentum for the vision by aligning programs, structures, conferences and teams around the goals
  • Mobilize students and faculty to engage their relational networks with the gospel and to start new missional communities
  • Under the direction of the Area Director, may supervise Ministry Interns and Campus Ministry Interns as delegated

You intentionally gather, invite, and develop diverse groups of students and faculty so that they not only encounter and follow Jesus as Savior and Lord but also advance the mission on campus as participants and leaders.

  • Create ways for faculty and students to encounter and follow Jesus through Scripture, worship, prayer, mission experiences, conferences, etc.
  • Equip students and faculty so that they think strategically about campus engagement and so that they proclaim – in word, deed, and power – the good news of Jesus, regularly inviting students and faculty to follow him as Savior and Lord
  • Disciple students and faculty by equipping them to hear the Word, respond actively, and debrief and interpret the experience so that they grow in Christlikeness, reflect our Core Values, and develop ministry skills
  • Invite, coach, and equip students and faculty to become increasingly effective participants and leaders, including starting new witnessing communities on campuses

Organizational Collaboration

You work with a network of other local, area, regional, and national InterVarsity staff and volunteers so that our work reflects Biblical standards of excellence, integrity, and partnership.

  • Partner with and respond positively to the direction and coaching of your supervisors and national leaders
  • Contribute to collaborative and productive team meetings and relationships
  • Affiliate chapters under your care and submit Graduating Student Forms in order to increase our partnership with current students and alumni
  • Use national ministry resources and tools, as requested, including recruiting and/or participating in local, regional, or national conferences as required
  • Complete reporting, planning and review requirements in a timely way so that you and your supervisors can assess and improve your work as a CSM
  • Comply with all InterVarsity policies and procedures

Ministry Partnership Development

You will develop a team of partners – churches and individuals (including alumni and community members) – who will resource the ministry financially, in prayer, or volunteer service that advances the mission.

  • Raise 100% of the financial budget assigned by your supervisor
  • Communicate regularly with your ministry partners, nurturing the relationship through visits, phone calls, emails and regular prayer letters
  • Develop on-going, long-lasting partnership with alumni and volunteers
  • Comply with all Ministry Partnership Policies
  • Identify and invest in advocates who will build networks of volunteers and donors on InterVarsity’s behalf

Accomplish all other assigned tasks as appropriate

QUALIFICATIONS (common to all levels of CSM)

  • Annually affirm InterVarsity’s Statement of Agreement (Doctrinal Basis and Purpose Statement). Abide by InterVarsity’s Code of Conduct. Believe and behave consonantly with InterVarsity’s Human Sexuality Theological Paper. Affirm and behave consonantly with InterVarsity’s “Women in Ministry Statement of Affirmation”
  • 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 a 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
