And the majority one’s learning simply flows out of experiences in sharing daily life: praying, eating, and serving. - led by an on-site Core Group (including Fuller alum, Rev. Karen Sloan ‘04) - weekly classroom sessions covering essential skills for community life (healthy relationship dynamics, leadership, communication) - daily spiritual formation via prayer and scripture times - located in Pittsburgh, PA - runs mid August to late July Costs and compensation during the residency varies for every person.

What friends are saying ~ Karen Sloan is a wise and insightful woman. She is helping the Church rediscover the lost art of spiritual formation. I hope that a generation from now, thanks to folks like Karen and Formation House, we will see a Church filled, not just with believers, but with followers of Christ. After all, Jesus sent us into the world not just to make believers, but to form disciples. ~ Shane Claiborne, www.thesimpleway.org Formation House is an experiment in turning a year of service into a year of holistic formation for a life of service. If you're not only interested in doing something, but also in becoming a different kind of person, this could be the experience for you. ~ Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, www.newmonasticism.org Learn more and apply at - www.formationhouse.org http://www.denverseminary.edu/formation-house/2012-01-04-intentional-community-and-spiritual-formation-residency http://www.denverseminary.edu/formation-house/2012-01-04-intentional-community-and-spiritual-formation-residency Wed, 04 Jan 2012 17:29:34 UTC A Christian Ministry in the National Parks (ACMNP) provides opportunities for Christian worship and community to the people who live, work, and visit America's national parks.

One of those audiences is Student Leaders. These are students that already have an active ministry on a particular campus, but may not be a part of a greater ministry organization, or have staff assigned to their campus. Purpose of Position The Student Leader Strategies team has the role to serve, envision, and equip these Campus Ministry Leaders (CMLs). The goal will be to help these student leaders become more effective in building EDM communities of faith on campus (evangelism, disciple-making, missions mobilization) to help to fulfill the Great Commission and spread God’s glory to the nations. Range of Positions Within the Student Leader Strategies Team there exist three levels of responsibility as determined by experience: Staff- requires at least some experience in college ministry Senior Staff- requires a minimum of 2 years college ministry experience Director- requires 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 weekly schedule, travel and “all hands on deck” events for CMT. Responsibilities 1) Research Strategies- There are unique obstacles to Student Leaders when reaching out to their fellow college students, so as a part of your role, you will be the thought and research leader in the strategies to over come these obstacles and help these CMLs be as effective as possible in transforming their campus to be a sending base for the church into all nations. 2) Developing New Tools- As a leader in this field of ministry you not only want to be a part of getting the best tools and strategies into the hands of Student Leaders, but you want to use the experience that you already have, and the experience that you glean over time to develop new tools that you can quickly get into the hands of your audience to try out. (Field testing will be one of the greatest strengths of this team, and one of the greatest contributions to CMT Research and Development in general) 3) Contribute to the Newsletter- Although the Advancement team will be in charge of writing monthly newsletters to our CMT supporters, and the Research and Development team will be in charge of writing our weekly blog entries, both will be looking to you and the other Strategies Teams to supply them with the stories, tools, and strategies from the field that people really love to hear about. 4) Coaching Student Leaders – Having a campus as your mission field can at times feel very lonely and overwhelming, especially if you’re not a part of a specific ministry or don’t have any full time staff from your ministry. In these cases, having someone volunteer to coach you and support you in your ministry is critical in keeping you going. This is what you will do for these people all across the nation, limited only to the number by people on your team. 5) Recruiting- Because we want to be able to coach as many Student Leaders that request our help it is important that we are consistently recruiting qualified coaches to join our team, and aid in the efforts to provide these ministers with the skills and resources that they need. The role of recruiting will fall primarily to the Director, but Staff and Senior Staff are encouraged to assist with this as well. 6) Workshops- One of the best ways for us to be able to train student leaders is by developing half day and full day workshops, equipping them with the skills, tools, and strategies that we’ve been working on researching and developing. These must truly be high value workshops that really meet the pressing needs of CMLs. These workshops can take place all over the nation, and once a sufficient size team has been recruited (at least 3-5 people) then follow up opportunities and coaching relationships can be established to help Student Leaders handle the natural obstacles that come from implementing new ministry strategies. (The Research and Development team will take the lead in creating the workshop materials from the content you supply them) 7) 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.

As a part of your research you will read these books and write reviews for the ones that you feel as though need to make it into the hands of campus ministers (about 2-3 per month). 2) Review EDM Tools- Thankfully, new tools for campus ministry are being produced all of the time (new campus surveys, new ways of sharing the gospel, etc).

Without proper marketing many College Ministers will continue to miss out on the service that we hope to provide them. Purpose of Position The Marketing Team has the charge of finding the latest and greatest ways of effectively and efficiently getting the CMT name and ministry contribution out to the general population of College Ministers. Thereby enabling CMT to assist them in their ministry, bring glory to God and help to fulfill the Great Commission.

Responsibilities 1) Utilize Social Media to Create Buzz about CMT- There are a lot of quick and efficient ways to get the word out about something these days (twitter, Facebook, blogs, etc). As a part of your marketing you will make sure that CMT is never forgotten about as you continually find new, contemporary, and creative ways of reminding college ministers of the services that we provide. 2) Commission Creative Director for Marketing Materials- Though it will not be your job to create the materials and graphics used to promote CMT, it will be your job to be a part of developing the campaigns used to advertise who CMT is, what we stand for, and what we hope to contribute. 3) Find, plan, and coordinate Workshops, Booths, and Conference Speaking Opportunities for CMT staff- One of the greatest opportunities that CMT has to get the word out about how we would like to contribute to reaching out to college students is through finding and taking advantage of opportunities to speak at Conferences, present Workshops, and represent CMT at promotion booths. 4) Commission Conference Speakers- Although there may be many full time staff for CMT that would do well at a conference speaking opportunity, preparing a well put together presentation is very time consuming and labor intensive. So in most cases it will be preferable to commission veteran speakers to speak on behalf of CMT values and vision instead. 5) Recruit- Finding men and women that thrive in areas of marketing and trendsetting to join your team will enable you to accomplish the important goals of the Marketing Team in an effective and efficient manner. You should always be reproducing yourself. This is primarily the Director’s responsibility, but Staff and Senior Staff are encouraged to provide as much assistance as possible. 6) 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.

Therefore efforts to keep it aesthetically appealing (according to current trends), error free, relevant, functioning smoothly, easy to navigate, and continuously updated with new materials is critically important. 2) Database design and maintenance- CMT should have a database of all clients consumers, subscribers and other contacts who come to us through various means. This should grow into the most comprehensive database of CMLs in the nation. 3) Web Support- because we hope our website to be reminiscent of a consumer review site, it is very important that communication to and from the website be managed quickly and efficiently. Emails should be answered promptly, and consumer reviews should be regularly edited and organized. Feedback on the site (from CMLs or CMT team) should be gathered and acted upon in a timely manner. 4) Recruiting- Web programming and maintenance is a very time consuming activity, and therefore recruiting qualified people to work with you towards keeping this site top of the line is critical to prevent burn out.

Although the projects will consistently change, the hopes of remaining contemporary and forward thinking will stay the same. Purpose of Position As a member of the Creative Team, you will apply your carefully honed skills in art, design, editing (etc) and apply it to the goals of CMT to glorify God and fulfill the Great Commission.

Time commitment 40+ hours a week, depending on weekly schedule, travel and “all hands on deck” events for CMT. Responsibilities 1) Produce Projects Commissioned by Other Teams- Potentially any team under the CMT umbrella has the potential of commissioning a job from the Creative Director. The Director then has the authority to give perspective to each team as to the priority that their team’s request might have, thereby giving an accurate expectation of job completion, but in the end the Creative Team is meant to accomplish the tasks set forth by other teams with the superior skill that they possess. 2) Creative Team Original Projects- The Creative Director/Team will come up with original and unique concepts for contributing to the goals and vision of CMT as a ministry. This is in addition to the projects requested from other divisions of CMT. Priority of assignments, and new Creative Team Projects will be decided as a team. 4) Recruiting- Staff enabled with skills in graphic design, video recording and editing, product branding, and product composition will be recruited by the Director to enable the team to accomplish the many important tasks given to them. The team should be large enough to prevent the burn out of any particular staff member. Additionally each member of the team should have the goal of passing on their skills to less experienced members. 5) Support- This role, like all of our other staff roles, requires raising personal ministry support for personal income.

Location This position is located in Fayetteville AR. http://www.denverseminary.edu/campus-ministry-toolbox/2011-11-14-creative-staff-team http://www.denverseminary.edu/campus-ministry-toolbox/2011-11-14-creative-staff-team Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:41:07 UTC Church/Volunteer Strategies Team Overview There are three distinct audiences that CMT serves when supplying strategies and resources for Campus Ministry. One of those audiences is Church-based leaders. These are college pastors, denominational collegiate staff or volunteers that have a heart to reach out to college students. Many times these leaders have very little experience, training, or resources for campus ministry. They usually welcome a specialist who will serve them and improve their effectiveness. Purpose of Position The Church/Volunteer Strategies Team has the role to serve, envision and equip these Campus Ministry Leaders (CMLs). The goal will be to help churches become more effective in building EDM communities of faith on campus (evangelism, disciple-making, missions mobilization) to help to fulfill the Great Commission and spread God’s glory to the nations. Range of Positions Within the Church/Volunteer Strategies Team there exist three levels of responsibility as determined by experience: Staff- requires at least some experience in college ministry Senior Staff- requires a minimum of 2 years college ministry experience Director- requires 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 weekly schedule, travel and “all hands on deck” events for CMT. Responsibilities 1) Research Strategies- There are unique obstacles to Churches and Volunteers when reaching out to college students, so as a part of your role you will be the thought and research leader in the strategies that will over come these obstacles and help these people be as effective as possible in reaching out to college students. 2) Developing New Tools- As a leader in this field of ministry you not only want to be a part of getting the best tools and strategies into the hands of Churches and Volunteers, but you want to use the experience that you already have, and the experience that you glean over time to develop new tools that you can quickly get into the hands of your audience to try out. (Field testing will be one of the greatest strengths of this team, and one of the greatest contributions to CMT Research and Development in general) 3) Church/Para-church Advocate- At times in the past there has been suspicion, territorialism, and little cooperation, but this is changing. Para-church specialists have developed most of the tools and strategies and are beginning to serve, share and cooperate with the larger Body of Christ. Many churches have developed vibrant college ministries and have more to offer than ever to the task of reaching the campus to reach the nations for Jesus. We need each other, God desires our unity and cooperation (Jn 17:21-23). You will find new ways of promoting cooperation, synergy, sharing of tools and strategies so that Christ’s Kingdom spreads to hundreds of new campuses. 4) Contribute to the Newsletter- Although the Advancement team will be in charge of writing monthly newsletters to our CMT supporters, and the Research and Development team will be in charge of writing our weekly blog entries, both will be looking to you and the other Strategies Teams to supply them with the stories from the field that people really love to hear about. 5) Coaching Churches and Volunteers- Many churches that have college pastors are still hungry for outside help and consultation to help them become more effective in developing ministry to college students. The potential for coaching churches and volunteers is nation-wide and limited only by the number of people on our team. 6) Recruiting- Because we want to be able to coach as many churches and volunteers that request our help it is important that we are consistently recruiting qualified coaches to join our team, and aid in the efforts to provide these ministers with the skills and resources that they need. The role of recruiting will fall primarily to the Director, but Staff and Senior Staff are encouraged to assist with this as well. 7) Workshops- One of the best ways for us to be able to train churches and volunteers is by developing half day and full day workshops, equipping them with the skills, tools, and strategies that we’ve been working on researching and developing. These workshops can take place all over the nation, and once a sufficient size team has been recruited (at least 3-5 people) then follow up opportunities and coaching relationships can be established to help churches and volunteers handle the natural obstacles that come from implementing ministry strategies. (The Research and Development team will take the lead in creating the workshop materials from the content you supply them) 8) 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 of those audiences is Campus Staff. These are usually full-time para church staff that are actively engaged in ministry on campus, but may not have a strong support system, coaching, or tools. Or they may just appreciate how CMT can strengthen their ministry. Purpose of Position The Campus Staff Strategies Team will have the role to serve, envision, and equip these Campus Ministry Leaders (CMLs). The goal will be to help these staff become more effective in building EDM communities of faith on campus (evangelism, disciple-making, missions mobilization) to help to fulfill the Great Commission and spread God’s glory to the nations.

If you are the only staff from your ministry for miles around, or if you don’t even have a greater ministry organization that you are a part of to support you, then having someone to consult with on your ministry is critical in keeping you going. This is what you will do for these people all across the nation, limited only to the number of people on your team. 5) Recruiting- Because we want to be able to coach as many Campus staff that request our help it is important that we are consistently recruiting qualified coaches to join our team, and aid in the efforts to provide these ministers with the skills and resources that they need.

Although the methods have changed, the message does not. The next President of FEBC must have a passion for evangelism and a mature dependence on the Lord. Founded in 1948, FEBC is directly responsible for programming, broadcasting and assistance to 21 countries, and FEBC collaborates and coordinates closely with its partner, FEBA, in the provision of broadcasting and programming to 29 additional countries. The various entities are united by the FEBC global mission and their historic international partnership. This partnership has grown FEBC to broadcasting in more than 130 languages – totaling 700+ hours of programming per day. FEBC has succeeded first and foremost due to God’s blessing and in part because each radio station is imbedded in the community, broadcasting in the native tongues of the listener and spoken by indigenous voices. A priority will be to continue FEBC’s progression from being a “corporate headquarters” to a resource center for affiliates. Travel will be significant as the new President gets to know the leaders of the international affiliates and partners with them to achieve their missions. Also key will be refreshing the donor base and approaches used for fund-raising. The new leader must capture the minds and hearts of a younger generation of donors and understand that they think differently than those who supported FEBC in its earlier days. The President must collaborate with leaders of international affiliates to capture the ears of a new generation of listeners who hear programming not just through radio but through the Internet, on mobile devices and in a variety of other ways. Through this collaboration, the new President will grow FEBC from its roots as a radio broadcasting company to a media-savvy organization. The successful candidate must be in tune with the quickly evolving new world of media and able to create and constantly revise a modern media strategy.
