Greek Life leadership roles help make Greek Life function. We are a staff directed, but student led ministry. The Servant team leadership role is the largest component of leadership in Greek Life. It helps serve the movement by providing the infrastructure that helps us minister to more people, both Christians and non-Christians. It also allows those getting involved with Greek Life gain practical ministry experience. The process of leading changes our lives and what we lead changes other peoples’ lives!

Here are four areas of life we want you to consider as you apply for leadership:

1. Relationship with God

  • As a leader, your commitment to pursue your relationship with God is of ultimate importance. You can’t teach what you aren’t experiencing.
  • Within Greek Life we want to intentionally remind and ask each other, “Is Christ at the center of what we are doing?”
  • We want to ask you to be disciplined to spend time reading your Bible regularly.

2. Relationship with Christians (Fellowship)

  • There are several environments that we would like you to be aware of and commit to foster community and the development of fellowship with other believers for your group:
  • Requirements:
  • Attend Fall Retreat
  • Attend the main meeting on Tuesday evenings
  • Attend leadership meetings 1x/month
  • Attend Cru Winter Conference in Greensboro December 28-Jan 1
  • Make every effort to attend other retreats and events for your own benefit as well as to bring others.

3. Relationship with Non-Christians

  • We would like for you to commit to having an outward focus to your role in Servant Team. The reason we exist on campus is to make Christ known both in an increasing way to Christians, but also non-Christians. Although none of the committees is titled “outward focus to non-Christians” we want all committees to understand that thinking outwardly is a huge component of your leadership role in GL. Prayer can be outward focused, community can bring others in, service….on and on…. The Servant Team committees need to fit in with the vision of the campus to “See Others Rightly, and Live Rightly” having an outward impact on the campus.

4. Relationship with Yourself (Character)

  • As a Servant Team leader or committee member you need to be committed to a higher standard of character and integrity. Leadership is not a right, it is a privilege. Indeed, we care more about your character development than anything you lead. We want you to “See yourself more rightly” as you take on a role of leadership. Leadership puts us in a place where we must wrestle with who we are, not just who others are…
  • Requirements: here are some basic minimums of character that we want to hold for this role. We are not asking for perfection, but we are asking you to strive for greater holiness as Christ is holy.
  • Must be in a small group or “discipled” by Greek Life leaders
  • Must you must commit to handle alcohol responsibly, use discretion, (don’t get drunk) and be accountable to your actions.
  • Agree that smoking pot or using other drugs alters one’s state of mind and is not in line with following Jesus
  • Must be “above reproach” in sexual purity and be accountable to such. (ie. abstain from sex, but also remain pure in other sexual areas treating the opposite sex with respect instead of as objects. This relates to how you dress, physical touch, not “sleeping over” and verbal communication.)

Please answer the following:

  1. Are you in agreement with the specific areas of acceptance described above? If no, explain.

Yes______No______

  1. Are you currently in a GL small group or discipleship relationship? If so, who is your leader?
  1. In college, how has the Gospel impacted your life personally?
  1. Why do you want to commit to this role?
  1. Are there any areas of concern for you that you would like to bring to our attention before considering your acceptance for this role?
  1. Will you agree to come under the authority of the staff team, staff directors, and student interns in the above areas and agree to follow them in the chance of disagreement or differing visions?

Statement of Faith: (please read carefully and thoroughly)

The sole basis of our beliefs is the Bible, God's infallible written Word, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. We believe that it was uniquely, verbally and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, and that it was written without error (inerrant) in the original manuscripts. It is the supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks. We accept those areas of doctrinal teaching on which, historically, there has been general agreement among all true Christians. Because of the specialized calling of our movement, we desire to allow for freedom of conviction on other doctrinal matters, provided that any interpretation is based upon the Bible alone, and that no such interpretation shall become an issue which hinders the ministry to which God has called us.

  • There is one true God, eternally existing in three persons--Father, Son and Holy Spirit--each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of Deity and the characteristics of personality.
  • Jesus Christ is God, the living Word, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. Hence, He is perfect Deity and true humanity united in one person forever.
  • He lived a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the sins of men by dying on the cross as their substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him alone.
  • He rose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He lived and died.
  • He ascended bodily into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, where He, the only mediator between God and man, continually makes intercession for His own.
  • Man was originally created in the image of God. He sinned by disobeying God; thus, he was alienated from his Creator. That historic fall brought all mankind under divine condemnation.
  • Man's nature is corrupted, and he is thus totally unable to please God. Every man is in need of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
  • The salvation of man is wholly a work of God's free grace and is not the work, in whole or in part, of human works or goodness or religious ceremony. God imputes His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby justifies them in His sight.
  • It is the privilege of all who are born again of the Spirit to be assured of their salvation from the very moment in which they trust Christ as their Savior. This assurance is not based upon any kind of human merit, but is produced by the witness of the Holy Spirit, who confirms in the believer the testimony of God in His written word.
  • The Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to men. He convicts and draws sinners to Christ, imparts new life to them, continually indwells them from the moment of spiritual birth and seals them until the day of redemption. His fullness, power and control are appropriated in the believer's life by faith.
  • Every believer is called to live so in the power of the indwelling Spirit that he will not fulfill the lust of the flesh but will bear fruit to the glory of God.
  • Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, His Body, which is composed of all men and women, living and dead, who have been joined to Him through saving faith.
  • God admonishes His people to assemble together regularly for worship, for participation in ordinances, for edification through the Scriptures and for mutual encouragement.
  • At physical death the believer enters immediately into eternal, conscious fellowship with the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting glory and blessing.
  • At physical death the unbeliever enters immediately into eternal, conscious separation from the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting judgment and condemnation.
  • Jesus Christ will come again to the earth--personally, visibly and bodily--to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.
  • The Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the gospel throughout the world and to disciple men of every nation. The fulfillment of that Great Commission requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated to a total commitment to "Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.
