Men's Campus Ministry Coordinator

Description

Saint John XXIII exists so that we might deepen our discipleship in Jesus Christ and bring Him to the Colorado State University Campus, providing refuge and light in the darkness so that all might be rescued and have abundant life.

The role of the Men’s Campus Ministry Coordinator is to create an environment in which college students can encounter Jesus Christ, be known and loved, and be formed into missionary disciples. Our Campus Ministry Coordinators play a key role in bringing to life the mission of Ram Catholic by executing impactful events, retreats, and formation opportunities that draw students deeper into relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.

The role is primarily responsible for the execution of larger scale Ram Catholic events and works closely with our FOCUS missionary team to support and strengthen FOCUS Bible study and discipleship initiatives.

The Men’s Campus Minister specifically is responsible for keeping his finger on the pulse of the men in Ram Catholic. Alongside male FOCUS missionaries and our clergy, he actively seeks opportunities to build wider fraternity amongst the men within Ram Catholic. This will be accomplished by challenging men into deeper commitment as disciples and by calling men to discover their mission and vocation in the Church.

The Men’s Campus Minister should also have a heart for encountering the lost, and should personally embrace the parish of Saint John XXIII and Ram Catholic as a home. With an eye on the broader student community, he will work to make Ram Catholic a refuge and light for every college student that walks through our doors, and he will serve as a resource and connector for each student we meet on campus.

The role requires flexibility, generosity and availability, working 2-3 evenings/nights a week for Ram Catholic events and our Candlelight Mass and working occasional weekends for retreats and ministry events. This role will work in close collaboration with our Women’s Campus Minister and the Director of Campus Ministry, along with the FOCUS Team Director, to ensure that the vision and mission of Ram Catholic is successful and fruitful.

The position will have an initial 90 day probationary period where the organization and employee can determine fit. The employee will receive an evaluation after the 90 day period.

The ideal candidate is first and foremost a missionary disciple - A man with a deep and personal relationship with Jesus Christ who lets his interactions and ministry flow from the fruits of his daily prayer. We are looking for a candidate who is well formed in the teachings of the Catholic Church, Sacred Scripture, and Discipleship and who is able to spark curiosity and form others in these areas.

He should be approachable and relatable, with an ability to connect with a diverse range of college students. The right candidate will be able to effectively and efficiently manage their own schedule, ensuring all administrative work is completed in a timely manner and communicated with excellence. We are looking for a team player, as our parish staff works very collaboratively together alongside our FOCUS missionaries and parishioners, and desires to model shared life, shared prayer, and shared mission for our students.

He should be able to take instruction, exercise flexibility, and sacrifice joyfully in the workplace. He should be willing to bring new ideas to the table and will be a key leader in rallying students around the ministry of Ram Catholic, and in sending students on mission to campus and eventually into the post-graduate world.
