LOCATION
The PEACE Center (Presbyterian and Episcopal Alliance for Campus Engagement) at the University of Delaware
276 S College Ave, Newark, DE 19711, USA
DESCRIPTION
The Campus Minister will be the leader of this new initiative to minister to the spiritual needs of the University of Delaware – Newark campus. The primary population of focus will be full-time, undergraduate students (particularly, but not limited to, Episcopalians and Presbyterians), with some tangential opportunities to minister to staff, faculty, and the broader UD student body. The PEACE Center’s ministry is beginning as a chaplain-style presence on campus, and through the leadership of the Campus Minister and PEACE Center Board of Directors, will evolve into a ministry in a café-style physical space that is conducive to sharing food, meeting, and programming.
This is a full-time (40 hours per week) professional ministry position. Night and weekend work is necessary primarily during the academic year. The Campus Minister will be asked to spend a portion of their time on the development of the campus ministry (including fundraising and grant-writing, strategic communications, and achievement of our PEACE Center physical space), as well as be engaged in more direct ministry (meeting with students, participating in Religious Life at UD, and organizing student gatherings and programming.)
The position requires work in person, principally on campus and throughout the community. Travel may be required for such things as speaking at area congregations, as well as student-organized service projects, pilgrimages, and denominational events. The Director will meet regularly with the Board for strategic planning, financial oversight, and mutual support.
