Campus Ministry Council

The purpose of the Campus Ministry Council is to act as a decision-making body for campus ministry issues, within the context of the jurisdiction granted the Ministry Council by ASSP, the Perkins Center, and the Office of University Ministries and the Center for Worship (and specifically excluding those decisions which fall within individual position descriptions).

Membership

The Campus Ministry Council is chaired by the ASSP vice president of ministries (a student-elected position), and consists of the following members: Urban Involvement (UI) coordinator, group coordinator, SPRINT coordinator, Campus Student Ministry Coordinators (CSMCs), Chapel Worship Team coordinator, Latreia coordinator, Sharpen coordinator, two ASSP senators, and all OUM/CFW and John Perkins Center staff advisors.

Responsibilities

Selection: Final Selection of all coordinators rests with the Campus Ministry Council. A review committee consisting of the current coordinator, the vice president of ministries, VPM-elect, and the designated advisor from OUM/CFW or the Perkins Center reviews applications and conducts interviews.

The review committee nominates one candidate to Campus Ministry Council for final approval. CMC considers nominations and either approves the nomination or refers it back to the review committee for reconsideration. If CMC refers a nomination to the review comittee, the committee reopens the application process. CMC typically completes its selection process within three weeks after ASSP Officer elections. All decisions of CMC require a two-thirds majority vote.

Other Duties: The Council is responsible for making decisions on campus ministry issues in the context of its purpose, outlined above. Primary issues include new program ideas, formation of ministry procedures and guidelines, and evaluation of current programs for the purpose of instituting improvements and/or determining program continuation. All decisions require a two-thirds majority vote. The CMC also supports and prays for the ongoing ministries within the organization.
