Purpose of Position Because Campus Ministry Toolbox is a non-profit organization, there are limited ways to subsidize the over-head costs of running the ministry (rent, office materials, travel costs, free resources etc) other than raising the funds through outside ministry supporters. However, CMT hope to build a revenue stream as our resources and reputation develop. The Advancement Team would help CMT develop and execute the “business” aspect of CMT so that we might serve more Campus Ministry Leaders (CMLs) worldwide. CMT’s part in glorifying God and fulfilling the great commission would be greatly diminished without the ability to give away resources and maintain financial health. Range of Positions Within the Advancement Team there exist three levels of responsibility as determined by experience: Staff- requires basic skills in fund development and some experience in college ministry (highly recommended but not required) Senior Staff- requires proficient skills in fund development and a minimum of 2 years college ministry experience Director- requires superior skills in fund development and a minimum of 4 years college ministry experience CMT Vision Vision: components 1) a return to Evangelism, Discipleship and Missions/Mobilization (EDM) on campus 2) blessing, catalyzing and synergizing force in campus ministry worldwide, 3) more students mobilized for world evangelization as a result of the tools, strategies, resources of CMT. Vision Statement: Serving the Body of Christ by blessing, catalyzing, and synergizing campus ministries worldwide and providing the best tools, strategies, and resources so that every campus has a community of Christ followers who passionately engage in evangelism, disciple-making, and mobilize students for global missions. Time commitment 40+ hours a week depending on travel needs, “all hands on deck” events, special fundraising events, and weekly schedule. Responsibilities 1) Build team of financial supporters- Utilizing good people skills and networking capabilities you will invite potential investors to partner with us monthly, semi-annually, or annually. Once this team is built you will work to maintain the support team by 1) keeping the supporters informed of significant events in CMT through a monthly newsletter 2) consistently finding creative ways of maintaining a personal relationship with supporters (phone calls, small gifts, special events, etc). 2) Create and organize fundraising events that further the mission and generate the funds needed to sustain CMT. Special events can be a great way of blessing CMLs (workshop, coaching, conferences etc) or inviting new partners to join with us (golf, hunt, fish, banquet etc) bringing in large amounts for CMT special events (i.e. workshop, conferences, etc) or to keep the budget ‘in the black’. 3) Grant Writing- composing and submitting well written grant proposals will be another key way of keeping CMT well funded and consistently serving those that want to fulfill the great commission through reaching out to college students. 4) Recruiting- The Director of Advancement has the responsibility to build a team of fund developers to work with them towards the goal of sufficiently funding CMT. Staff and Senior Staff already on the team should work to be as of much assistance with this endeavor as possible. 5) Personal Support- This role, like all of our other staff roles, requires raising personal ministry support for personal income. Each staff needs to raise and maintain healthy support. We will train and help you as you put together a team of financial supporters.

One step we have taken to ensure all men are protected from the temptation of internet pornography is by installing Covenant Eyes web tracking software on all personal and work computers to. - We also keep each other accountable in our personal relationship with Christ by praying for each other and sharing struggles with each other. - -CMT will also seek to develop our staff through a Personal Development Plans and bi-annual feedback on job performance - We ask that all staff spend time in actual campus ministry investing in students lives, testing ideas, learning more about campus ministry.
