Beverly Parrish Skinner, who leads the Baptist Collegiate Ministry in Georgia, shared with me a 360 Assessment for Campus Ministers that she worked with an organization called Corpus (Corpusvitae.org) to develop. Their main focus is church revitalization and pastoral leadership. But, they worked with Beverly to develop this tool that shows 3 areas of core competencies and skillsets within each of these for Campus Ministers.
Here are the 3 Core Skill Sets with 3 areas of Competency under each:
Cultural Awareness
-Adaptive to Change
-Cultural Sensitivity
-Multi-Directional Relationships
Spiritual Competence
-High Self Awareness
-Models Spiritual Vibrancy
-Teaches the Bible
Leadership Capacity
-Leads with Vision and Strategy
-Administrative Capabilities
-Disciple Multiplier
Here are the 5 Areas that College Ministry Alums said made the difference in their lives.
Highly Relational
Role Model
Mentor/Discipler
Developed Leaders
Taught the Bible and made it Relevant to the College Experience.
My purpose in sharing these is for your personal evaluation as a veteran College Minister and to help newer College Ministers not to have to learn the things that make a difference the hard way.
"Let the wise listen and increase their learning, and let the discerning get good counsel." Proverbs 1:5
