Select the New Director Program that best fits your season of ministry.
*
The New Director Program currently has three “tracks” one can choose from. Each track is tailored to the season of life and ministry development. The goal is the same for each track, to equip each leader to effectively direct a healthy chapter of Chi Alpha on a college or university. Choose the option that you are applying for. Descriptions of each are provided below.
Second Career New Director Track
Emerging New Director Track
Church Staff New Director Track
Pioneering Director Track
Second Career New Director Track:
The Second Career New Director track is designed for a marketplace leader and/or veteran minister who has served the Lord through the local church or mission assignments. They desire to make Chi Alpha their career path, and are unable to relocate for a residential CMIT program. This leader must be solid theologically. Through the training will gain the vision, values, and culture of Chi Alpha’s trans-generational discipleship strategy. This track also serves those who have already made the transition to Chi Alpha staff, didn’t complete a CMIT, and desire further training as a Chi Alpha director. The second career new director’s track equips leaders for chapter/team leadership and facilitates their acclimation into our missionary organization.
Emerging New Director Track:
The Emerging New Director track is designed for a veteran Chi Alpha associate staff who has completed RUI, CMIT, is an AG licensed minister, and who desires to become a director. These leaders know Chi Alpha’s values, vision, and missionary/discipleship culture, desire to sharpen the skills for leading a staff team and strategically growing ministry on campus to its next levels. The emerging new directors track equips great staff to become great directors of existing ministries.
Church Staff New Director Track:
This track is uniquely designed for a Church staff person who is being released by the local church to plant a healthy Chi Alpha chapter on a small college or community college in their area. The minimum age is 23, must have some college (degree preferred) or professional certificate and have previous ministry experience. Theological training and biblical literacy is also assumed. The emphasis is on the basics of building a trans-generational discipleship ministry on campus and the personal spiritual disciplines that become the foundation for their discipleship plan. Relational connection with full time Campus ministers will help to understand our values and practices. Campus visits to other ministries and participation in Chi Alpha events are required. We seek to empower the Leader to shape an effective ministry in their context.
Pioneering Director Track:
The Pioneering New Director track is designed for a veteran Chi Alpha associate staff who has completed RUI, CMIT, is an AG licensed minister, and desires to Pioneer or re-pioneer a campus. These leaders know Chi Alpha’s values, vision, and missionary/discipleship culture, and will spend the next year learning how to establish a ministry from scratch. The cohort of pioneers will become friends that learn and support one another through the pioneering process.
