DESIGN PHASE 3 | DESIGN

When we have discerned a call to campus ministry and determined that partnership is the right fit at the right time both for you and the CCO, we will continue to explore the various models of CCO partnership: Next Generation Workshops, Affiliate Partner, Campus Ministry Staff, or Campus Staff Team. Once we’ve reviewed the models of partnership, we will discern which model would be most effective to meet the needs and opportunities for ministry in your context. MODELS OF CCO STAFF PARTNERSHIP

NEXT GENERATION WORKSHOPS

From the Feasibility Survey, you may find that your church is not yet ready to launch a college or young adult ministry, but you want to prepare your church leadership and key volunteers with a vision for reaching the next generation in your church and community. The CCO can partner with you in cultivating a vision and strategy for next generation ministry through a consulting workshop.

POTENTIAL WORKSHOP TOPICS

• The Call to Intergenerational Discipleship in Your Church • Cultivating a Transformational Vision of Next Generation Ministry • Mobilizing Your Church to Reach the College Campus • Developing a Missiology to Reach the Next Generation • Church Readiness: Student Integration

AFFILIATE PARTNERSHIP

The Affiliate partnership is a training cohort designed for 1-3 church staff or volunteers committed to investing in the lives of college students and young adults in your context. Affiliate partnership serves to equip, network, resource, and coach churches to effectively reach the next generation.

AFFILIATE COHORT INCLUDES

• Six virtual webinars on Hospitality, Evangelism, and Discipleship • Up to three Jubilee conference passes for participants • One coaching session focused on reaching students in your context • Recommended resources for College & Young Adult Ministry

CAMPUS MINISTRY STAFF

CCO employees who serve as campus ministry staff placed within the staff team of the church can be full time or part time. The cost is determined based upon salary, benefits, employment costs, training, and a programming budget.

• A job description is created collaboratively between the CCO and the partner church based upon vision, goals, strategy, and outcomes, using the CCO Job

Description Template.1 • Talent acquisition, hiring, and placement of a staff person are done collaboratively between the CCO and the church partner, following the interviewing and hiring processes of the CCO. • The CCO provides new staff training and ongoing training in biblical foundations, strategic ministry practices, and sustainable ministry funding. • Regular supervision, coaching, and performance reviews are provided by a CCO

Supervisor in collaboration with a Partnership Supervisor. • CCO staff participate in a regional team of CCO campus staff for encouragement and best practices. • CCO conferences, resources, and networking opportunities in college ministry are offered. • The CCO serves as the employer and processes all payroll and financial contributions. • The church partner commits to an annual financial contribution. • The CCO handles all benefits administration (medical, dental, vision, 401k, etc.).

CAMPUS MINISTRY STAFF TEAM WITH CCO FELLOW(S)

The CCO Fellowship Program involves developing a strategy for equipping the next generation of ministry leaders for the campus and the church. It is a one-year opportunity (June 1 through May 31) for a Fellow to minister to college students while being mentored by experienced CCO campus ministry staff in the context of a church partner. The Fellowship Program provides intensive biblical and ministry training, intentional and strategic ministry experience, and mentoring toward a call to vocational ministry. Throughout the year, evaluations and assessments assist in discerning whether the Fellow will apply for career positions in campus ministry with the CCO or move on to other opportunities in the church or workplace.

• The full-time CCO staff person serves as the Campus Staff Mentor and supervisor for the CCO Fellow. • The CCO Fellow is employed by the CCO but serves within the ministry context of the partner and collaborates within the College Ministry Team. • Housing is provided as part of the compensation package for a Fellow. The partnership assists in finding and securing housing for the Fellow during their year of ministry through their church and community networks. • The CCO Fellow is responsible for raising financial support for their stipend.

The CCO Financial Model is shared between three contributors: CCO Next Generation Fund, church partnership contribution, and the CCO staff person’s support raising. These three contributions cover the entire cost of employment, including employment costs, training costs, medical benefits (health, vision, and dental, option for 401k), salary, and programming expenses. A budget based upon these categories in each particular context is created between the church and the CCO. The church contribution is confirmed with a start date through a signed Partnership Agreement after a CCO candidate has accepted an offer. Finances are evaluated on an annual basis in light of any changes in the cost of benefits, salary changes based on performance, programming needs, or other factors that may arise. Upon annual reviews, decisions are made to increase the partnership contribution annually.
