PURPOSE
Within the leadership oversight of the Offices of the Executive Vice President and the Department of Athletics, our challenge is to build committed leaders who are agents of change in their world for Christ. This kind of leader is committed to Christ - a Kingdom seeker; to their peers - a compassionate friend; and to the broken world around them - a world changing Christian.
MINISTRY VALUES and STRATEGY
I. The Director of Campus Recreation must be committed to the Lordship of Christ. This not only means having a Biblical Worldview, but it involves a transformation in every area of one's lifestyle. The Director of Campus Recreation should continually seek opportunities to grow. She/he needs to have a strong character through the regular practicing of the spiritual disciplines (e.g. prayer and study of Scripture). The Director of Campus Recreation should have a developed vision for what God can do in the campus community through campus recreation, wellness programming and intramurals. A strategy for ministry is then created for accomplishing this vision. The Director's ministry and service are further enhanced by the skills of efficiency, creativity and deep compassion for students and service.
II. The Director of Campus Recreation's primary strategy for building committed leaders should focus on pouring one's life into several paraprofessional student staff while maintaining general friendships and creating a sense of community with the rest of the campus. The ultimate goal is to reproduce the life of Christ in others (discipleship) so that in turn others can reproduce Christ's life in their friendships. This multiplication effect will enhance the number of students that can be reached for Christ and eventually led to the development of a sense of Christian community throughout the entire campus. This type of community atmosphere creates the greatest opportunity for students to grow and to feel supported.
