About Decision Point 

We are an evangelical non-profit that exists to proclaim the gospel to the next generation. We focus on equipping, sending and reaching students on their school campus and online. Browse through our website at DecisionPoint.org to learn more about what we do. 

Come help save the next generation! 

Expanding the Mission and Advancing the Gospel

Decision Point is currently active in 17 areas and partnering with churches and mobilizing students for campus outreach. We desire to see this number grow to 25 areas by 2027, and through our online coaching program, we hope to coach students far beyond that. We have seen that coaching a few schools in a local area today can lead to long-term ministry being established for years to come. 

We have recently launched our new four-year campaign, I Have Decided. 

In the next four years we are praying we will see:

• 10,000 students say, “I have decided to witness for Christ!”
• 1,000 churches say, “I have decided to mobilize our students to witness for Christ!” 
• 10,000 people to say, “I have decided to pray for and financially support this ministry.”

We believe that by God’s grace this will result in:

• 25 strategic cities served by Decision Point campus ministry in their communities
• 1,000 campuses impacted by the Student Leaders deployed by Decision Point
• 2.5+ million students given the gospel on campus or online

Check out this video to see our mission in action. 

We pray that the Lord will continue expanding the mission - coast-to-coast, border to border and beyond - till every student has heard.

About Our Next Campus Ministry Field Staff

The purpose of each chapter is to build a gospel movement that transforms lives at high schools and middle schools across a whole region. Within this broad and challenging mission, this job has several clear roles:

• Evangelist: We’re a gospel-ministry and all members of our team – especially those in leadership – are involved in sharing Christ. In addition to personally sharing Christ, Campus Ministry Field Staff are responsible to instill this value into every level of the team and coach others to do the same.
• Recruiter: We’re a volunteer-based ministry, always looking for good people to do their part to accelerate the mission before us. We believe that pretty much everyone we meet has some part to play in the mission, and we proactively make those connections.
• Leadership Coach: We are a leadership-development organization. Everything we accomplish is done through people, so we continually equip students, volunteers, and team leaders to fully develop all the talents that God has given them. Your role will be one of influence, teaching, and inspiration, helping those under your care to grow into the good works that God has prepared for them to walk in.
• Networker: Chapters are commissioned to reach schools across a geographic area. Surrounding each school is a Christian community of local churches and mature believers. You’ll work to build connections and partnerships with them, so that together you can reach the students in your areas of ministry.
• Shepherd: Leading a team of people sometimes comes with interpersonal challenges (and sometimes crises). We look for Campus Ministry Field Staff ready to guide and instruct people with grace and truth in the power of the Spirit.
• Team Manager: You report to the Chapter Director or Area Director. You personally oversee part-time employees and volunteers. You’re responsible to ensure that all of them receive the training they need to be successful, and that they abide by our standards and protocols for ministry behavior.

Hours - full-time, salaried position

Key Functions

Campus Ministry Staff are in the field most of the week. During the ministry year (September – May) you’ll be in the field 50-75% of the time, either at your chapter site or visiting high schools we’re coaching, or connecting with pastors and other community leaders.

Key Relationships

Chapter Director, City Director and other Campus Ministry Staff

Job Qualifications

• Experience: Ministry experience in church or para-church setting preferred.
• Travel: Must be comfortable traveling frequently by airplane. This role will include consistent travel locally and some travel around the nation.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree preferred, but not required.

You’re a great candidate for this role if most of these describe you:

• You love the lost. People who don’t know Christ, who are hurting and broken without the peace of God…you care about them!
• You believe in the power of the gospel to change lives and truly heal broken communities by restoring relationship with God.
• You're entrepreneurial and a go-getter. Driven and goal-oriented, you’re eager to grow the impact of your team to spread the gospel
• You have a burden and a vision for reaching your area. The Lord has established incredible momentum in our current areas, and our work will go so much further with the help of additional field staff.
• You know the value of serving a movement bigger than yourself and your leadership. Campus Ministry Staff work in partnership with pastors, teachers, parents, and the general Christian community in the city. And if those partnerships don’t exist yet, Chapter Staff build them.
• You want to be part of a far-reaching and effective ministry. With millions of students around the nation who need to know Christ, you’re not content to reach just one campus.
• You are a superior verbal communicator, winsome in personal conversation and in public speaking.
• You have experience leading others and know that leading others is service to them. Leading is one of the most effective ways you deploy the talents and the godly passions that God has given you.
• You're a visionary – you see a different future than the current reality, and you can tell people about it in ways that motivate them to help you make that change.
• You’re a good coach and enjoy helping others you lead to reach their full potential and serve Christ for years to come.
• You’re detailed and organized when it comes to planning the future and managing your team.
• You’re ready for a full-time job, 45+ hours/week, and are ready to commit to something you can really sink your teeth into for several years.

Attitudes and Aptitudes

• Must have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Quick and eager learner in all areas.
• You work with enthusiasm and excellence.
• Impressively organized with great attention to detail.
• Possess high moral integrity, emotional health, social awareness and spiritual maturity.
• A team player who is excited to serve with an incredible team and contribute their best.
• An evangelical Jesus-follower who loves the gospel and evangelism.
• A wise and mature believer who knows the Word of God and seeks to follow it.

Fundraising and Salary

Salary range for this role is $40,000 - $75,000, based on location, experience and qualifications.

As a distinctive part of this role, Decision Point is a non-profit ministry where every member of our staff is involved in fundraising for both financial and prayer support. And we think that’s a really good thing!

Just like missionaries about to be sent across the world, your first assignment on Decision Point staff will be to personally contact churches, friends and family and gather a team of partners to monthly invest in the ministry that God is leading you into. We’ll give you tons of training, encouragement and ongoing coaching. If you like everything else and feel like this could be a good fit for you, do not let fundraising stop you; let’s talk first.

Will you come help save the next generation? 

You may still have a lot of questions. You may still be praying about whether God is calling you to this mission. That’s ok! Let’s talk. Just fill out the short form and we’ll be in touch to get the conversation started!
