Job Title:

Campus Director for Ratio Christi chapter at Ashland University: Hopewell Church / Ratio Christi Campus Ministry

Job Description:

Hopewell Church is seeking a strong man of God to serve as a campus minister at Ashland University (Ohio) and possibly a pastoral intern with the church. The ministry of Ratio Christi aims to equip students to defend the faith in the hostile environment of the college setting. Particularly, at Ashland University, the goal is to counter the progressive tendency of the Religion department and strengthen the students who are part of the Ashbrook scholar program in the Christian worldview.

As the Ratio Christi chapter director, the candidate will be called upon to...

• Organize and lead regular small group meetings with the student body to study issues of apologetics.
• Coordinate weekly "tabling" outreach and engage students through the use of apologetics at the table events.
• Organize and lead larger apologetics events on campus, such as debates, guest speakers, and large venue presentations.
• Coordinate with other Ratio Christi directors in the region for events being held at other college campuses.
• Recruit new students, regularly meet with students for personal discipleship, support & assist the Ratio Christi student officers, and provide pastoral care to students when needed.
• Develop and maintain relationships with university faculty and administration.

A possible additional role as a pastoral intern with Hopewell Church may also be welcomed. These duties would include teaching and preaching, leading worship, assisting with administrative duties, and community outreach events.

Compensation: The position would require the candidate to raise his own support. Hopewell Church and Ratio Christi will assist in the raising and managing of those funds.

Position Qualifications:

The person filling this role will...

• Maintain a godly life and possess the quality of character that becomes a ministry leader.
• Adhere to the Reformed faith, as summarized in the Westminster Confession or 1689 London Baptist Confession. While we do desire confessional fidelity, the applicant does not have to be an ordained minister.
• Possess competency in apologetics and be able to represent all approaches, including presuppositional and classical methods.
• Be able to relate to students and faculty easily in small group studies, outreach activities, and other venues of campus or church life.
• Demonstrate strong communication and relational skills.
