Job Description

CA House at UC Davis (aka The Cal Aggie Christian Association) is seeking a full-time Interfaith Campus Minister to join our vibrant, diverse, inclusive, progressive staff as we minister to college students from a wide variety of religious, socio-economic backgrounds, sexual identities, cultures and countries.  In addition to serving as a progressive Christian ministry at UCD sponsored by the PCUSA, UMC, and UCC denominations, CA House has hosted an intentional Multifaith Living Community (MLC) of approximately 40 students since 2008.  Thus, our programming focuses on both Christian and Multifaith formation, social and environmental justice, and building community while striving to meet the spiritual and basic needs of our students.

CA House Mission Statement
Rooted in a tradition of ecumenical, progressive campus ministry since 1916, the Cal Aggie Christian Association at UC Davis (CA House) serves the Christian student community through faith-based programs grounded in four basic values: community, faith, social justice, and sustainable living. In addition, situated in an increasingly diverse multifaith environment, CA House embraces and serves students of all faiths and strives to promote interfaith dialogue and understanding. CA House offers a caring, inclusive community where all students can feel free to engage in open discussion and exploration of questions of faith (their own and others’), vocation, and personal identity and growth. CA House is committed to putting faith into action and actively seeks opportunities to promote peace and social justice.

Position Summary
The Interfaith Campus Minister (CM) is responsible for creating and maintaining the supportive community essential to achieving the organization’s mission. The CM is required to build working relationships with the professional and student staff at CA House, as well as with multiple constituencies including UC Davis departments, sponsoring denominations, and leaders of faith-based organizations and congregations. 

Key Responsibilities
Reporting to the Executive Director (ED), the Interfaith Campus Minister has responsibility for programs, pastoral care, community relations, and, along with the staff and Board of Directors, execution of the organization’s mission.

Job Requirements
Qualifications and Desired Experience
• Knowledge of and specialized training in interfaith/multifaith ministry
• Desire to work with and minister to college students (both undergraduate and graduate)
• Personal commitment to CA House’s core values: community, faith, sustainability, and social justice
• Proven knowledge of LGBTQ+ ministry, experience, and theologies
• Ability to work collaboratively with professional staff and student interns. We seek someone interested in sharing the load of ministry as a team, learning from each other, and setting an example of how we can embody multifaith living on a daily basis
• As college students are nocturnal, the bulk of our programs happen in the evenings or on weekends, thus the CM must be comfortable with working at night several times each week during the school year, and leading overnight retreats on weekends
• Masters in Divinity, Religion, or related field required; a unit of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is preferred
