1. They’re a corner on EVERY campus! Every campus has faculty, staff and administrators!
2. They are Partners in our ministry, called to LOVE & SERVE the same MISSION FIELD: they actually understand our context better than we do because they’ve lived their whole adult lives there.
3. CSMs ≈ 5 years : Professors ≈ whole career = No brainer
4. Community Colleges: Virtually every region can point to faculty bright spots in planting or sustaining a community college ministry.
5. Campus Access: Faculty are key allies who have advocated for us on campus, either helping us plant a new campus or helping us stay on campus we’ve already planted in virtually every region.
6. Jesus loves professors too, even the ones who eat our students for lunch: We believe God can use students and staff to reach them, but their fellow professors, their peers, have unique access and trust.
7. YOUR LIFE MIGHT DEPEND ON IT: Current faculty we serve are working on:
- Preventing the zombie apocalypse (aka antibiotic resistance)—law professor
- Cure for cancer—public health and medical professors
- Lessening income inequality—education and sociology professors
- Climate change—science professors
- And much more!!
8. Campus Shalom: Faculty are key Kingdom conspirators who work towards as Sandy Shugart (President, Valencia College—2nd largest community college in FL) writes “restored health, wise leadership, genuine tolerance, a deep civility, restored confidence and courage, righteous priorities, and a deep sense of humor.”
9. 1,000,000 young people leave the church every year: Top campus leaders (including our president) determined that empowering Christian faculty to be salt and light on campus is a key strategy for preventing that bleed.
10. BECAUSE IT’S OUR VISION AND OUR CALL: If Christian faculty follow Jesus in every aspect of their work, our vision WILL HAPPEN: Students & faculty will be transformed, Campuses will be renewed, and world changers will be developed.
