Additional Job Description

InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA

Frame of Reference

All staff members subscribe annually to the Purpose Statement of InterVarsity:

In response to God’s love, grace and truth:

The purpose of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA is

to establish and advance at colleges and universities

witnessing communities of students and faculty

who follow Jesus as Savior and Lord:

growing in love for God,

God’s Word,

God’s people of every ethnicity and culture

and God’s purposes in the world.

This purpose is admittedly more limited than the Great Commission. As a mission extension of the local church, we have adopted

boundaries on our activities based on our call to serve a defined group of God’s people. Within the context of InterVarsity’s purpose, all of

the relationships and tasks that staff members engage in as part of their work for InterVarsity have both eternal and temporal components.

Values:

InterVarsity is committed to developing men and women from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and generations, whom God calls to work with

us for both shorter and longer periods of service, as we pursue the call of God in the university world.

Maturing Disciple of Jesus Christ:

Every InterVarsity staff member is to be a maturing disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, growing in obedience to the Scriptures. The marks of a

long-term love relationship with Christ in the fullness of His Spirit are described in Galatians 5:22: “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,

patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control.” In the workplace, this fruit is revealed in healthy working

relationships which encourage all staff to accomplish their work and enhance their focus on the spiritual aspects of their work.

Team Work:

Each individual staff person is a vital member of Christ’s body. This means that we will work with one another in ways that honor and

encourage all to grow in Christ while accomplishing His work. Our community requires that each individual serve as a team member in a

collegial and open environment based on values, relationships, and vision as well as structure and position.

InterVarsity staff, both employees and volunteers, commit to serve God and all InterVarsity colleagues, students, and partners, with

sensitivity to both the eternal and temporal dimensions of our work. “Whatever your task, work heartily, as serving the Lord.” (Colossians

3:23a)
