Ratio Christi Canada is an evangelism and apologetics student discipleship ministry. We place evangelistic apologists (“Chapter Directors”) at local campuses, high schools, and churches (“chapters”) to regularly serve and work with the young people there, helping them to better understand, share, and defend the Christian faith. As a Chapter Director for one of our campus ministries, you will be fulfilling this role at the college/university level. You can do so as either a volunteer or a supported missionary.

Responsibilities
  • Regularly lead welcoming and informative discussion-oriented apologetics meetings for believers and skeptics alike, answering questions and objections to the faith and setting forth positive grounds for belief.
  • Train students to engage in campus evangelism through informal conversations and intentional outreach.
  • Hold outreach events as appropriate for their local campus (e.g. resource giveaways, seminars, interviews, debates, etc.).
  • Mentor and develop student leaders outside of the regular group meetings to be ambassadors for Christ.
  • Support student efforts to form and maintain an approved student organization status on campus.
  • Continually work to grow the chapter ministry.
  • Raise funds for the chapter ministry as needed.
  • Promote the importance and benefit of apologetics to local churches and Christian communities.
  • Build relationships and partnerships with local churches, high school ministries, and professors.
  • Maintain healthy relationships with other Ratio Christi Canada team members, especially other local/regional Chapter Directors.
  • Report to the Regional Director (if applicable) and the National Director.
  • Raise your own support with the guidance of a support-raising coach. (Supported missionaries only.)
Qualifications
  • Mature Christian faith.
  • Full agreement with our statement of faith, mission and vision, and core values. (Visit ratiochristi.ca for details.)
  • Minimum of a degree in a relevant field (e.g., apologetics, theology, philosophy, science, history) of equal or greater value than that being sought by the students.
  • Formal training in evangelism and apologetics. (If the candidate does not have such training, they might still be hired with the understanding that they are to pursue such training before their ministry placement.)
  • Prior student ministry experience (preferred).
  • Prior leadership experience (preferred).
  • Prior teaching experience (preferred).
  • Prior fundraising experience (asset).
  • Ability to work well in a team as well as independently.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
