Standards and Necessary Requirements

• Because we are a part of Campus Crusade for Christ, all staff members with Athletes in Action are responsible for raising their own financial support.
• Because our staff members are placed in positions of high visibility and spiritual leadership, Campus Crusade's standards are high. Our selection process focuses on the applicant's spiritual, social and emotional maturity, as well as his/her personal and family life.
• Because we consider husband and wife to be a ministry team, couples must be in agreement as to their leading to the AIA ministry. Therefore, both must apply and be accepted for staff.

How Long Will the Application Process Take?

Expect the application process to take about two months from the time we receive a completed application until the applicant receives his/her final decision. Therefore, applicants should apply at least three months prior to the desired training dates.  An application is complete when the online application is completed, the elaboration form is completed and uploaded to the application, and all the references and application fee have been submitted.

Full-Time Staff Requirements
Full-time staff must complete three training segments that are offered in a five week training every winter and summer. These segments are New Staff Training (NST), Ministry Partner Development (MPD), and School of Leadership (SOL).

• During a week long New Staff Training (NST) time new staff learn about the past, present, and future of Campus Crusade for Christ. They will meet some of the ministry's leadership and learn about our financial policies.
• Ministry Partner Development (MPD) is two weeks of training that equips new staff to develop their financial support team.
• The School of Leadership (SOL) is three weeks of in-depth biblical training taught by seminary professors and Campus Crusade for Christ staff with seminary degrees. These classes will help new staff accurately handle the Word.
