As a prospective leader in InterVarsity, you are preparing for serious spiritual responsibilities. You will be expected to exemplify Christ-like character (1 Peter 5:1-6; 1 Timothy 4:12), to maintain sound doctrine (2 Timothy 1:13-14), and to actively engage in proclaiming Christ's Word (2 Timothy 4:2, 5). Scripture sets forth a high standard for Christian leaders. Please study the following passages before continuing: 1 Timothy 3:1-13, Titus 1:6-9, Hebrews 13:7, 17.

On a separate sheet of paper which you will not turn in, please make some notes about the characteristics of Christian leaders that appear in the 7 scripture passages mentioned above. Spend some significant time in prayer asking God to help you evaluate yourself, in light of these scriptures, as you fill out the rest of this application.

Briefly relate when and how you came to believe and follow Christ as Savior and Lord, and what this commitment means to you:

What does Salvation mean to you? What are the steps that you would take to lead someone to Christ?

Briefly describe the pattern of your personal quiet times:

Briefly describe the pattern of your prayer life and other ways you meet with the Lord:

Briefly describe your pattern of involvement with InterVarsity. What other campus mission groups are you are part of?

What other organizations and activities are you presently involved in? Will they conflict with your responsibilities as a leader in InterVarsity? Please explain:

Chapter Focus Week is a one-week-long planning and training camp for the next school year for InterVarsity members and leaders. This week is a priority for anyone in leadership. Do you foresee any reason why you would not be able to attend Chapter Focus Week (August 14-20)? If so, why?

As you reflect on your character and leadership roles in InterVarsity, what would you consider your greatest strength(s) and weakness(es) to be? Please explain:

What leadership position(s) do you feel called to or best qualified for? What would your major goals be for this area of leadership, and how can God use you to accomplish those goals if you are selected for leadership? (See the Leadership Roles pages [contact info not updated for 2012, but roles unchanged] for a description of possible leadership positions)

In regards to our chapter as a whole, is there a particular direction that you feel God is calling us towards? Do you have suggestions for things we could do in the following months and into next year to respond to this calling? Please explain:

I personally understand, agree with, and actively live out the statement of purpose and doctrinal basis available here. If chosen to be a chapter leader, I will commit to honoring God in my position through discipline and dedication, attending Chapter Focus Week, Large Group meetings, Small Group meetings, leadership meetings, and Daily Prayer meetings, to the best of my ability.
