Staff Opening with BEMA Discipleship

Impact Campus Ministries is seeking to hire a full-time Associate Campus Minister for our BEMA Discipleship Virtual Campus Ministry team.

Our campus ministries are built on the premise that true success is developing “intimacy with God” (a personal, real, dynamic relationship with God through faith in Jesus). We do this by pursuing it ourselves, modeling it, and purposefully teaching it to university students across the United States. The focus of this job is making sincere connections with students, motivating and inspiring them to pursue their own intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

This ministry is unique in that it is entirely virtual. Our virtual campus ministry team works with college students who listen to the BEMA Podcast and want to connect with our staff and other students in a virtual setting. The ministry is focused on deepening and developing spiritual practices within the context of community through one-on-one meetings with staff, group gatherings, and Olam—a regular gathering to experience and practice spiritual disciplines. All of these take place through platforms like Zoom and Discord. The right candidate will have knowledge of these platforms and be comfortable with the use of technology to create social engagement and build healthy communities.

Our BEMA Discipleship Virtual Campus Ministry is heavily student-led, both in the virtual gatherings and in determining the direction of the ministry. We are looking for a candidate who can empower and equip students by helping them realize their leadership potential and encouraging them to step into those roles. This person will be flexible, recognizing that ministry in the virtual realm is ever-changing, as is the culture of the students being ministered to. Because of the nature of this role, the right candidate will need to be able to work independently, be highly organized, and willing to take initiative. While this ministry is fundamentally online, we still prioritize authentic connection and are looking for someone who is empathetic with strong interpersonal skills.

  • As an Impact Campus Ministries staff member, you will be responsible for actively participating in the organization’s fundraising efforts. Ministry partner development, also called support-raising or fundraising, is both an organizational and personal responsibility. Every employee, including the president, is given a personal fundraising goal, along with tools and training to help them reach it. As part of the fundraising, you will be asked to develop ministry partners from your personal network. In addition, you will be asked to use your unique skills and experience to help the organization meet its overall fundraising goals. By developing your network and adding your skills to organizational efforts, we will be able to continue to engage and mentor students across American universities.
