Staff Opening at the University of Oregon

Impact Campus Ministries is seeking to hire a full-time Associate Campus Minister to add to our team at the University of Oregon in Eugene.

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.

The ministry in Eugene strives to create spaces of discovery and exploration that meet students wherever they are in their faith journey. Leaning heavily on creative activities and approaches, the ministry seeks to provide a community for those students who feel out of place in more traditional ministry environments.

We are looking for someone who is warm and engaging with strong interpersonal communication skills. The right candidate should be energized by working with various kinds of people. Creativity and a willingness to try new ideas are highly encouraged. This role will require the ability to see opportunities for growth while upholding the culture of the ministry and our commitment to investing in relationships. This role includes coordinating ministry to male students while also working closely with all students.

The University of Oregon was founded in 1876 in the beautiful Willamette Valley. A leading public research university with nearly 24,000 students, the UO emphasizes student innovation and impact across disciplines, particularly in science, business, education, and human performance and sport. The university and surrounding areas provide something for everyone, from the music of the Oregon Bach Festival to international Track and Field events to a wealth of outdoor adventure opportunities.

  • 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.
