Finances

Understandably, the majority of our applicants, graduating college seniors, know little about salary structures and benefit packages. Because Campus Crusade staff raise their financial support, it's probably a little more critical for you to have a basic understanding of some of these issues. Here you'll find what you need to gain a working knowledge of how Crusade's finances work and, as a result, how your finances will work.

Salary

Athletes in Action staff are responsible for developing a team of ministry partners who will provide for their monthly salary, ministry expenses, and benefits. New Staff Training is provided to equip new staff with the proper tools and methods to successfully raise their support. During this training, monthly support goals will be established and determined by your salary, ministry expenses, and benefits. 

Salary is based on personal needs, such as marital status, number of dependents, cost of living, debt, and other special needs as determined by Campus Crusade.

Ministry Expenses including automobile and travel expenses are reimbursable (non-taxable), as are medical expenses not covered by our group medical policy.

Benefits

• Group medical and dental plans
• Voluntary 403(b) employee retirement program
• Basic and Voluntary life insurance
• Disability income
• Pension
• Worker's Compensation

Once your support goal has been raised, you will report to your initial assignment. All financial contributions are made payable to Campus Crusade for Christ and are tracked by your staff ministry account. These funds pay your salary, benefits, insurance, administrative costs, reimbursements, etc.

The goal of our salary, reimbursements, and benefits structure is to allow staff members to meet individual and family needs. All staff members, including Campus Crusade for Christ President Steve Douglass and Athletes in Action Co-Directors Jerry Dendinger and Ron Touby, work under the same financial policies and pay scale.

Some are called to go, others are called to send. Raising support allows you to involve others in your ministry and to discover, through faith, that when God calls, He also enables.
