Job description

The Associate assists FCA staff with necessary duties assigned by the supervisor in order to aid in the successful camp ministry or campus ministry programs and/or administrative support. An Associate is a temporary, part time hourly position, ineligible for FCA benefits and 401K contributions. Associates can be FCA staff for up to 1 year.

MINISTERIAL DUTIES

These responsibilities are critical to the FCA mission and this position plays a vital role in our ministry. FCA expects all functions and responsibilities outlined below to be carried out with a heart surrendered to serving God as a form of worship.

  • Agree with, and abide by, FCA's Christian Community Statement.
  • Follow a spiritual rhythm including daily prayer and Bible study to seek the Lord's will for FCA.
  • Lead, conduct and provide spiritual leadership for staff, volunteers, coaches and athletes through prayer, Bible study, worship and living by example so they are equipped to serve others.
  • Connect to and participate in a local church through worship and weekly involvement.
  • Conduct yourself in a manner that affirms biblical standards of conduct in accordance with FCA's Christian beliefs (see FCA's Christian Community Statement) at all times.

As our ministry continues to grow, we believe it is essential to intentionally develop future ministry leaders by creating opportunities for hands-on learning, spiritual formation, and leadership development. Through this internship experience, participants will be engaged, equipped, and empowered to discern God's calling on their lives: whether into full-time ministry with FCA or wherever the Lord leads them for Kingdom impact.

Each selected intern will commit to serving alongside the Northwest Arkansas FCA staff team for one academic semester.

During the semester, interns will:

  • Rotate weekly among full-time FCA staff members to observe and learn various aspects of ministry operations and leadership.
  • Receive weekly one-on-one mentoring and spiritual accountability from a designated staff mentor.
  • Attend regular staff meetings and ministry gatherings.
  • Participate in bi-weekly intern meetings focused on growth, reflection, discussion, and ministry development.
  • Gain exposure to ministry planning, discipleship, relationship-building, outreach, communication, and the overall structure within FCA.

Potential applicants may include:

  • Former student-athletes
  • Former FCA student leaders
