Job Summary
The Area Director for Texas Gulf Coast area would be responsible for our ministry work in Southeast Texas (starting from College Station, TX). An Area Director leads and oversees a ministry team to plant and to grow 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 for the common good and to the glory of God. We confidently anticipate that our Inter Varsity alumni will be growing disciples and change agents across the country and around the world.
Essential Commitments / Responsibilities
The Area Ministry Director models spiritual 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. Pursue a vibrant relationship with the triune God through engagement with Scripture, prayer, and worship, both individually and in community.
Exercise self‑leadership (growing in self‑awareness, self‑management, relational integrity, and resiliency). Embrace and practice Scriptural standards for behavior and attitudes, including those described in the Code of Conduct.
As an Area Director, you inspire, coach and develop campus staff ministers (“ministers”), students, faculty, and ministry partners to increase the number of witnessing communities, as well as the size, health, spiritual maturity, and campus‑wide influence of existing witnessing communities by being a visionary guide, a structural architect, and a missional developer. You recruit a diversity of qualified minister candidates, develop ministers to spiritually grow in Christ, supervise ministers, and proactively establish and develop healthy relationships across racial, ethnic, national background, and gender barriers.
As an Area Director, you are part of a national organization and work in partnership with local, area, divisional, regional, and national Inter Varsity ministers and volunteers. Participate in regional leadership to set ministry vision and strategies, build productive ministry partnerships, and establish systems, processes and protocols to fulfill regular operational and administrative tasks (reporting, finances, human resources, etc.). Maintain sound financial status of the area through management of budgeting, expense control and ministry partnership development.
You will develop a team of partners who will resource the ministry financially, in prayer, or with volunteer service that advances the mission. Ensure ministry budget is fully funded, supervise each minister’s MPD, and build resource networks with alumni, volunteers, churches, advocacy councils, and major donors to fund low‑network ministers.
Accomplish all other assigned tasks as appropriate.
