The McMaster University Campus Ministry Committee
Printer-friendly versionThe McMaster University Campus Ministry Committee
Preamble
One of the expressed purposes of the Christian Reformed congregations that make up Classis Hamilton is to partner together in shared ministry. Classis has agreed to “decide upon and oversee purposeful ministries that reach out to our local communities and region with the love of God. We will prayerfully seek, establish, and maintain these shared ministries as a Classis and, where appropriate, partner in the leadership and financial needs of these ministries.” The McMaster University CR Campus Ministry is one such shared ministry of Classis Hamilton.
Mandate
To further the work of the Campus Ministry and its Chaplain, Classis Hamilton has formed and mandates a committee to support and supervise (in conjunction with the Christian Reformed Home Missions Regional Leader and the Christian Reformed Home Missions Campus
Educational Mission Leader) the work of the Chaplain, and to evaluate and establish direction for the campus ministry together.
Tasks
The mandate of the committee shall include, but not be limited to, the following tasks and responsibilities:
1) Provide an environment of on-going support for the chaplain, his/her family, the ministry and its core participants through dialogue and prayer.
2) Provide on-going supervision to the chaplain to ensure that his work is in accordance with expressed purposes of the ministry and in promotion of a life of healthy balance, personal wellness, and spiritual vitality.
3) Engage in annual intentional times of chaplain and campus ministry evaluation and review in order to re-focus the direction of the ministry where/as appropriate to the changing context of the campus.
4) Assist the chaplain in promoting the campus ministry and in sharing the fruit of its cultural engagement with the member churches of the classis.
5) To maintain accurate and up-to-date records of bank accounts, contracts (implied or actual), assets, etc.
6) To attend to the financial sustainability of the ministry
