Responsibilities:


Embrace and Embody CU's Distinctives
-
Seeking-God Lifestyle | Christian Union emphasizes a mindset and behaviors considered normative by Christians for centuries, starting with the book of Acts. A God-seeking lifestyle includes humbling oneself through fasting, extraordinary prayer (including day and night), large intake of Scripture, repentance, obedience to God in every regard, perseverance in seeking God wholeheartedly, extended times of gathering with fellow believers, and intentionally calling other Christians to seek God with great diligence. When Christians seek the Lord wholeheartedly they can expect fresh fillings and outpourings of the Spirit.
-
Christian Unity | Maior Autem His Est Caritas ("the greatest of these is love") is inscribed around the center of Christian Union's logo as a reminder that God's love is central, and His love is the inspiration to uphold Christian love and unity among Christians. Christian Union board members, faculty, staff, financial partners, and alumni are committed to loving one another and fellow Christians as members of the body of Christ.
-
Intellectual Orientation | Christian Union tailors its ministry to people of high intellectual capacity whose knowledge of Scripture ranges from non-existent to well-developed. Christian Union associates are selected for their ability to assess needs and to lead at this level. Christian Union knows that all wisdom and knowledge are in Jesus Christ and therefore sees harmony and not a contradiction between intellectual pursuits and strong faith.
-
Organizational Excellence | The nature and significance of Christian Union's calling compel a culture of discipline and accountability. While the primary "products" as an organization are God's glory and changed lives, which can be hard to measure, the ministry does its best to track inputs and outputs to be as effective as possible. The ministry aspires to be as organizationally robust as some of the best well-run, for-profit firms.
-
Professional Growth | Christian Union believes that God, in His wisdom, deposited gifts and abilities in all men and women. As these are recognized and developed, and as additional skills are imparted through training and feedback, associates have the opportunity to reach their full potential. CU prizes the ongoing growth and spiritual and professional development of Christian Union's staff and faculty because it honors God, helps further the mission, and contributes to the flourishing of the people.
-
Bold Faith | Christian Union values bold, expansive faith. Everything the Bible says about God, humanity, and the universe is wholly true; therefore Christian Union moves forward in confidence of what God will do for those who love
