Invest in the next generation of Christian leaders
Do you love seeing lives transformed through Christian camping ministry?
Do you have a passion for seeing young adults grow in their faith and develop their ministry knowledge and skills?
CRU has an exciting opportunity for a dedicated and talented Ministry Coordinator to join our ministry team.
This is a varied and rewarding role where you will help equip and mentor the next generation of ministry workers. You will be primarily involved in planning and delivering competency-based ministry training, supporting student progress and mentoring emerging leaders. You will also have the opportunity to be actively involved in camps, including attending and leading camps alongside other members of the CRU team.
While there is an important administrative component to the role, you will enjoy a great variety of ministry opportunities across training, mentoring, pastoral care and hands-on camp ministry.

About you
We are particularly keen to hear from people who have:
- A mature and consistent Christian faith, with active involvement in a Christian church committed to sound biblical teaching, demonstrating a commitment to Christian ministry and service;
- Full agreement with CRU’s Statement of Belief;
- A commitment to and belief in the value of camping as an environment for evangelism, pastoral care and developing leaders;
- Experience managing and/or mentoring staff or volunteers, together with experience providing pastoral care or counsel in a professional or volunteer ministry context;
