Lead Director Training

Developing Directors who Build Teams that Disciple Students on Unique Campuses

For over 50 years Chi Alpha has been committed to fulfilling the Great Commission. This is reflected in it’s long standing mission to reconcile students to Christ, transforming the university, marketplace, and the world. Over the years the potential of our mission was not hindered by lack of students, but a lack of qualified missionary directors. A Chi Alpha lead director is called to be a visionary, mission-minded leader who models discipleship so that students can catch the same vision and respond to their campus, and the world. The key indicator of a campus director’s success and progress, is when a student learns to disciple others who turn and disciple others. This requires the lead director to learn how to build teams (staff and student teams) who know how to disciple others on their unique campus. The call for Chi Alpha directors is one for more laborers; men and women with grit, humility, and discernment. 

Lead Director Training (LDT) prepares a leader to step into this missionary role. LDT is the beginning of a developmental process to see the Chi Alpha director carry out the mission of Chi Alpha with confidence and momentum during their initial years. In the same way our Campus Missionary in Training program (CMIT) helps close the gap for a students desiring to be Chi Alpha staff, LDT empowers and challenges a leader with ministry experience (whether inside or outside of Chi Alpha) to step into a lead director role. 

By the time you finish LDT you will have discussed leadership issues, theology, team development, and more. This program requires creativity and focus. The goal is to prepare you for what lies ahead with the assistance and collaboration of the Chi Alpha National Ministry Center, Area Directors, and District leadership. The future of Chi Alpha runs through the lives of the local campus director!
