How To Use This Manual
The Leadership Manual is designed with the mindset that you will actually use it. Besides helping you understand
the basics behind ministrythe foundation and philosophythere are fantastic tools to help you in reaching and
maintaining the objectives that God is leading you towards.
The first step is to not be overwhelmed by the amount of information. This manual is more like a toolbox, not
content. As you will find out, you may not use everything. You might the the kind of person that needs the structure
that this manual provides. You might need help in evaluating how you and the chapter are doing. Maybe you need
to understand how everything fits in together. Whichever the case, this manual is made for you in hopes that it helps
you and your chapter to "Learn To Love Christ and Share Him With Others."
The second step is to gradually work through the manual. Your staff worker may want to go through this with you
during One-to-One times or as a Servant Team. The following checklist helps keep track of what you have completed.

Doctrinal Basis

We believe in:
The only true God, the almighty Creator of all things,

existing eternally in three persons--

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--full of love and glory.
The unique divine inspiration,

entire trustworthiness

and authority of the Bible.
The value and dignity of all people:

created in God's image to live in love and holiness,

but alienated from God and each other because of our sin and guilt,

and justly subject to God's wrath.
Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine,

who lived as a perfect example,

who assumed the judgment due sinners by dying in our place,

and who was bodily raised from the dead and ascended as Savior and Lord.
Justification by God's grace to all who repent

and put their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.
The indwelling presence and transforming power of the Holy Spirit,

who gives to all believers a new life and a new calling to obedient service.
The unity of all believers in Jesus Christ,

manifest in worshiping and witnessing churches

making disciples throughout the world.
The victorious reign and future personal return of Jesus Christ,

who will judge all people with justice and mercy,

giving over the unrepentant to eternal condemnation

but receiving the redeemed into eternal life.
To God be glory forever.

Ministry Structure
National Movement
As an InterVarsity chapter, the goals and efforts on campus should reflect where InterVarsity is heading nationally.
There are may ways that a chapter can partner and actively incorporate national goals. Chapters are encouraged to
attend events held nationally such as the Urbana missions convention and Global Mission Projects.
Regional Counsel
The Regional Counsel is made up of the Area Directors and the Regional Director. Their job is to serve the campus
staff and chapters in helping them minister to their campuses and do what God has called them to and help the
region move forward. This counsel is effective in having a grasp on the current trends and direction of chapters in
our area to help us partner in national opportunities as well as helping us effectively reach the campus. Regional
opportunities are an invitation for chapters to incorporate and partner in reaching regional goals. Chapters are
encouraged to attend events held regionally such as Chapter Camp, and Breakaway/SOURCE, as well as adopt
Global Projects (currently Pine Ridge and NW Russia).
In relation to your chapter, the Regional Counsel helps in giving a foundation of ministry on which your chapter is
built on. As a leader, you have been given the responsibility of prayerfully seeking God in how to build and maintain
the ministry structure on that foundation.
Campus Staff
The staff member's role is complex. Although InterVarsity chapters remain self-governing, staff workers do advise,
encourage, and serve as "spiritual coaches." They don't replace the initiative of students, or force or dictate. Staff are
eager to train student leaders, provide a model and a friend, but they will not do the work for you. They will remind
you of the vision and direction of the chapter as well as invite you to join in National and Regional opportunities.
Chapter Leaders
The Christian leader exists to serve his/her followers. The growth and maturity of the chapter, outreach to the
campus, and discipleship are first priority. If your motivation for being a leader is to gain status on campus, feel
needed, or have something to show on your college transcript...beware.
A leader serves people by freeing them to use their various gifts and abilities in working toward a common goal.
Effective leaders are effective team players. They share the responsibilities of leadership with others; they affirm
one another's gifts and efforts; they coordinate their efforts with other members of the team; and they shape their
strategy around the gifts and abilities of fellow team members.
Ministry Relationship Grid (Appendix A)
Because of the various roles within InterVarsity chapters and the need for communication between teams and
individuals, a Ministry Relationship Grid can be found in Appendix A in the back. Although not exhaustive, it will
help in understanding roles, avoid confusion and help communicate to others so everyone works as a team and not
individuals.

Ministry Foundations Overview
Ministry Foundation Diagram
This diagram shows the biblical and spiritual foundation of a healthy and growing ministry and helps in
understanding HOW to approach ministry opportunities, making sure that the purpose and scope are in agreement
with the foundation.
The two portions offer insight in both the discipleship process and decision process you will take in your area of
ministry. It is important to keep this ministry foundation as you plan and prepare throughout the year. By definition,
all programs and activities must be built on this foundation or it will not meet the goals intended.

Ministry Foundations: Love God
The Great Commandment describes who Jesus was and how he lived. (1 Jn. 4:19)
LOVE GOD
PRAYERFUL DEPENDENCE
Lk. 9:18-20
· Lifestyle and source of discernment
Mt. 9:35-38
· Means for releasing God's people into ministry
Lk. 22:28-32
· Tool for protecting fellow workers from the enemy's attacks
Jesus' prayer life demonstrates a dependent spirit. Jesus saw prayer as his source of
guidance and strength, his way to be in step with the purposes of the Father.
PRIORITY OF THE WORD
Lk. 4:1-13
· Wisdom for living
Mk. 7:5-9
· The source to challenge status quo
Mt. 13:10-18
· Truth for the discerning
The Word of God was revered by Jesus. It was the source of wisdom and authority by
which he spoke, made decisions and ministered to others. Decidedly different from his
contemporaries--Jesus taught God's Word from his heart to the hearts of others.
PROPER CONCEPT OF CHRIST
Mk. 1:10-11
· Uniqueness of Jesus
Jn. 3:1-21
· Transforming power of new life
Mt. 19:27-29
· Prioritizing center of life
It is clear that Jesus did not chase popularity, status or material gain. He was able to focus
on who he was and what God the Father had planned for him to do. Knowing who God is,
what he has done for us and who we are in Christ frees us to let God be the center of our
lives.

Ministry Foundations: Love Others
The Great Commission is the way Jesus lived out the Great Commandment. (1 Jn. 2:6)
LOVE OTHERS
LOVING ENVIRONMENT
Mt. 11:1-5
· Compelled by compassion
Mk. 1:35-39
· Driven by love
Lk. 7:36-50
· Permeated all activity
Establishing loving relationships where questions could be fielded, deeper spiritual insights
could be explored, needs could be met and friendships could be built--this was the kind of
environment Jesus created around him and in which he built disciples.
BIBLICAL MINISTRY IMAGE
Lk. 7:11-16
· Eternal perspective
Jn. 3:16
· Vision for ministry (disciple-making)
Mt. 22:35-40
· Grace and truth
As Jesus ministered to people, he gave them hope and expectancy. They were given a
cause that was bigger than life, yet worth living for. Jesus invited people from all walks
of life to join him as contributors to God's work. This erased man-made barriers of
worthlessness and despair.
CONTACTING--INTENTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS
Jn. 4:9
· Value the person
Mt. 4:18-22
· Sacrifice our time for another
Mk. 2:1
· Identified with neighbors
Looking at the life of Christ, we find a person who was where the people were. He did not
stay in one place and expect people to come to him--he visited remote villages, public
festivals, private homes and religious gatherings. Jesus put himself in the intersections of
people's lives.

Ministry Foundations: The Four Loves
We want to get people related to Jesus and the moving in a kind of walk in following Jesus that will last their whole
life. That's where the four loves come into it, because the four loves describe the priorities of what it means to follow
Jesus and to walk with Him over a lifetime (Phil. 1:9).
THE FOUR LOVES--INTERVARSITY'S PURPOSE STATEMENT
LOVE GOD
Deut. 6:5
There is no substitute for loving God. Worship, prayer, service, justice and truth grow out
of love for God. Students who learn to love God learn to love the things God loves. Love
can transform a life; love for God transforms the soul.
LOVE GOD'S WORD
Psalm 119:9,130
InterVarsity believes that God's Word speaks truth, wisdom and hope. We believe every
student should study the Word of God. Our programs help students know what the Bible
says, how to study the Bible for themselves and how to obey it. Loving God's word is the
pathway to living life well.
LOVE GOD'S PEOPLE OF EVERY ETHNICITY AND CULTURE
Eph. 2:15-16
People matter to God so much that he gave his son. We love God's people because God
first loved us. In InterVarsity people are important and we long for all people to know
how much God loves them. We encourage students to move beyond racial and cultural
boundaries, discovering, appreciating and loving with the love God has given us.
LOVE GOD'S PURPOSES IN THE WORLD
Isaiah 49:6
God is at work through his sovereign plan for history. He wants devoted followers from
all nations who will embrace his purposes of justice, reconciliation and salvation. He is
already at work bringing His Kingdom rule to the whole world. We try to help students get
a glimpse of God's larger purposes in the world and invite them to participate in those
purposes.

Ministry Foundations: Chapter Vision
The Chapter Vision should be built upon the Great Commandment and Great Commission, the foundations of
ministry, and the National Purpose Statement.
· Without a clear sense of direction the emphasis is upon busyness vs. the business of ministry
· Without a clear sense of direction it is difficult to say no to the pressures around you
· Without a clear sense of direction it is very difficult to recruit and resource time, talent, and treasures
· Without a clear sense of direction, it is difficult to plan ahead
CHAPTER VISION
VISION
Vision is the "big picture" of our current understanding of what God wants to do in and through
WHY
our ministry. The expression of this vision is not unclear...it answers the WHY, WHAT, and HOW
WHAT
questions of our lives and areas of ministry.
HOW
MISSION STATEMENT
The Mission Statement (Purpose Statement) is a one sentence statement that clarifies why our
ministry exists--our purpose for existence.
WHY
KEY RESULT AREAS (KRAs)
KRAs are the broad areas of our ministry in which we must achieve results if we are to fulfill our
mission. They answer the WHAT question. (KRA forms can be found in Appendix B)
KRA DESCRIPTIONS
These describe what this area (KRA) of ministry should look like when it is up and fully functioning
WHAT
and developed.
STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES, PROBLEMS (SWOPs)
SWOPs represent our present ministry assessment and future dreams and concerns for our KRAs.
GOALS
We picture our ministry vision in workable segments through goals. They need to be specific and
measurable with dates and numbers. Goals need to balance "faith" and "work." Goals answer the
HOW question. Faith Goals go on our prayer list and Work Goals go on our daily planner.
HOW
PROGRAMS
These are the activities and events which will help us accomplish our goals leading to the
accomplishment of our mission statement and ultimately the fulfillment of our vision.

Discipleship Overview
God's desire is to gather the world to Himself in Christ. (Eph. 1:9,10) His might and heart are directed toward the
purpose of connecting a people to Himself in intimacy, gratitude, and service. The story of God reconnecting people
to Himself is the real story of history and the central message of the Bible and the life of Christ.
There are really only two things that can be done for people in regard to this story of reconnection. First, they
must be adopted by a new father. Second, they must learn to live in that new relationship. This is what is meant by
justification and sanctification (discipleship). These two things are the work and purpose of God, and they are also
works in which He invites us to participate.
Discipleship Process
This diagram helps in clarifying WHO is involved and WHAT the ministry should offer them.
Ministry Levels (m1-m6) help in understanding HOW people are involved and the ministry's responsibilities.

Ministry Levels Grid (Appendix A)
The Ministry Levels Grid is one way to help you understand the people involved with the chapter. The purpose is not
to judge people nor is it meant to be used strictly as a measure of spiritual maturity. This is not complete and people
do not necessarily follow this model. The purpose is to help you first, understand how you can help others take next
steps in their spiritual walk and secondly, look for people to help team with you in ministry.
Discipleship Objectives
In the region we seek to have a common set of objectives that will guide our efforts in discipleship. The objectives
contain the elements that form the core curriculum that we desire to see all InterVarsity students experience. Other
objectives contain additional elements for additional discipleship and leadership.

The Ministry Levels Grid is one way to help you understand the people involved with the chapter. The purpose is not
to judge people nor is it meant to be used strictly as a measure of spiritual maturity. This is not complete and people
do not necessarily follow this model. The purpose is to help you first, understand how you can help others take next

Notice when a person takes the next step into a different ministry level, they do not exclude the previous level's
characteristics, but build upon it.

STEP 5
Put events and venues into your planning calendar as well as your online calendar. Assign responsibilities and
development deadlines. You should consider using the calendar available to you on StudentJourney.org to keep the
chapter informed.
For example a chapter might decide this for their fall retreat:
Fall retreat- first weekend in October at Spirit Life Bible Camp. Susie Student and Chad Collegian are coordinators/
planners. Camp will be reserved by May 1. Speaker for the retreat will be secured by August 1. Promotion will be
done by Bill and Mary. Skits and announcements and sign ups will begin the first week in September.

Evaluate your progress. Use the grid below to evaluate how well you're doing with your discipleship plan. This
should be done twice during the year (midway through and at the end). Note how you can make improvements.

WHY
1. It fits with the language of our National Purpose Statement

· Love God's People of every ethnicity and race
· Love God's Purposes in the world
2. It fits with our Regional emphasis: evangelism (Witness Journey)
USING IT
· Open your large group, small groups, etc. with, "Welcome to InterVarsity, where we learn to love Christ and share
Him with others."
· Add it to your T-shirts, brochures, posters, etc.
· Ask students how they have been learning to love Christ or sharing Him with others.
· In Servant Team/Small Group Leader meetings, discuss how we are meeting these goals.

step
evangelism
process
1. "Integrity" friendship: show God's love to another person. Make a
friend! Find points of common interest. Have fun.
2. Verbal witness: as the friendship develops and you share
more of your life, the topic of spirituality will naturally come
up. Pray for these opportunities.
3. Seeker Events: expose your friend to teaching or
presentation from other members of the body of
Christ. Examples would be speakers, films, concerts,
coffeehouses, discussion groups, special worship
services, even weddings or funerals.
4. GIGs: "Groups Investigating God"--invite the person
to study the Bible with you in a group or one-to-one
setting.
5. Faith: at some point, the Holy Spirit convicts,
illumines, and brings the person to faith in Christ.
This could happen gradually or at a certain point
in time. It might also happen at a "Harvest"
event where the gospel is presented publicly
with a call to commitment.
6. Integration: the person is integrated into the
life of the fellowship and church.
7. Witness: The friend becomes a witness to
his/her friends.
Notes
Our job is not to "convert" people but to be faithful
in our love, friendship, and verbal witness. God brings
about faith in a person's heart and mind.
This is an outline of the overall process. Often, the path
to receiving Christ does not follow the steps in order,
but skips around. Be open to God's leading.
P7-Step Evange-
rayer is vital! Be persistent in praying for your friend.

Understanding the
vision
We envision prayerful, powerful witnessing communities that share Christ on all our campuses. Our vision
is that God would empower us for faithful witness, and bless us with increasing numbers of non-Christian
friends and conversions in the next three years (September 1, 2003 May 1, 2006).
Prayer targets: we are continuing to pray for:
· 10% conversion rate
· 20% of each chapter comprised of non-Christians
premises
1. That the end point of our Regional purpose statement is:
witnessing communities that share the message of Christ on campus.
2. That we need to invest in the fullness of InterVarsity's "four loves" in order to develop fruitful witnessing
communities.
3. That to be successful, the Witness Journey will need to create and foster a culture of evangelism that is
supported at all levels: Staff Directors, Campus Staff, and students.
4. That prayer will be fundamental to the Witness Journey
5. That we'll face resistance on campus (even from Christians)
6. That the Witness Journey will cost extra money
7. That "evangelism" includes cross-cultural, International Student Ministry, and Multi-Ethnic ministries.
