Staff Opening in Salt Lake City

Impact Campus Ministries is seeking to hire a full-time Associate Campus Minister for our team in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Our campus ministries are built on the premise that true success is developing “intimacy with God” (a personal, real, dynamic relationship with God through faith in Jesus). We do this by pursuing it ourselves, modeling it, and purposefully teaching it to university students across America. The focus of this job is making sincere connections with students, motivating and inspiring them to pursue Jesus Christ. The ministry in Salt Lake City recognizes that this type of discipleship happens over time by investing in relationships with students. We are looking for someone who values this type of “slow and steady” approach.

This person should have a high value of Scripture. Participation in a local church congregation is strongly encouraged. We want someone who is willing to learn and adapt to challenges and difficulties, recognizing that ministering in this culture is unique. We prefer someone with an understanding of the beliefs of the LDS church and a sensitivity to how it shapes the culture of the area.

Our team in Salt Lake City ministers to a large population of international students and we are looking for someone who is excited to engage with a diverse group of people. The right candidate should be able to manage multiple projects at once. Strong communication skills, decision-making skills, and the ability to take initiative and be self-directed are critical to accomplishing the goals of this role. We are looking for someone who will think creatively about ministry and is willing to plan activities and events to engage students. A willingness to raise funds is required. This position has opportunity for advancement.
