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 to the glory of God. We confidently anticipate that our InterVarsity alumni will become change agents across the country and around the world. We pursue this calling by discerning and actively participating in what God is already doing on campus. This is the essence of being a Campus Staff Minister (CSM).<p style="text-align:inherit"></p><p style="text-align:inherit"></p><div><div><div><div><div><p><b><span>ESSENTIAL <span style="overflow-wrap: break-word; display: inline; text-decoration: inherit; hyphens: auto;">COMMITMENTS/RESPONSIBILITIES</span></span></b><span> </span></p></div><div><p><b><span>Spiritual Growth</span></b><span> </span></p></div><div><p><span><span>As a </span><span>Campus Staff Minister, </span><span>you </span><span>pursue maturity </span><span>as a </span><span>disciple </span><span>of Jesus </span><span>Christ </span><span>so that </span><span>your </span><span>life and </span><span>work increasingly </span><span>reflect</span><span> </span><span>a </span><span>growing love </span><span>for God, </span><span>God’s </span><span>Word, </span><span>God’s </span><span>people of </span><span>every </span><span>ethnicity </span><span>and </span><span>culture, </span><span>and </span><span>God’s purposes </span><span>in the world.
