Campus Missionary-in-Training
Considering a career in campus ministry? What does “Campus Missionary-in-Training” really mean? What can you expect to get out of a CMIT program? What is expected of you when you commit to one?
A Campus Missionary-in-Training internship with Chi Alpha Campus Ministries is a 9-12 month opportunity to learn and develop the character and competencies necessary for a calling and mission among college students. It will include a Biblical and practical ministry education, character development, and wide variety of skill acquisition required for campus ministry service. It will involve learning and growing under the care and mentoring of veteran men and women who have modeled fruitfulness and godliness, and been nationally approved to offer a CMIT internship.
Pioneering
Chi Alpha is always looking to the horizon to see where the next body of students is ready to receive the gospel. We are prayerfully calling forth laborers into the rich harvest of campus ministry. We have a three-pronged approach to strategically identifying leaders and preparing to launch on target campuses.
