Full time

Is God calling you to change the university and change the world? Want to serve in ministry outside of the four walls of the church? InterVarsity is looking for visionary leaders to serve one of the most strategic mission fields––the college campus! We want to reach every corner of every campus, and you could be a part of that in ALASKA.

God has called InterVarsity to plant and to build witnessing communities of students and faculty who follow Jesus on college and university campuses. 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).

Today, nearly 4,000 Alaska Native students are studying at colleges and universities in Alaska, yet very little is being done to reach and develop them as the Kingdom leaders that Creator is calling them to become. Though often overlooked by the campus community, these students have the potential to be future world changers, and their families and communities are looking to them for leadership and hope. We desire to see Alaska Native graduates return home as spiritually transformed and skilled leaders who will foster deep and lasting change in their communities, to the glory of God. Come build a thriving ministry that is fit for Alaska Native students, where they discover how to follow Jesus—while honoring their culture(s).
