TRACKS
These 4 tracks are designed to help you take the next step in following Jesus.
**A note about track selection: A Beautiful Story is for all students. Dependent Leader is for students who have served as leaders- either in InterVarsity or in other spaces. Small Group Leader Training and Exec are for students serving in those leadership roles in InterVarsity. Ask your staff if you need help picking a track.
A Beautiful STory
Does the Bible ever seem like just a bunch of disconnected stories and instructions? Do you wonder what it is really about? Maybe you could teach certain parts, but have no idea what to make of others? A Beautiful Story invites you to explore and experience the Bible as ONE good and beautiful story from beginning to end. This track is for anyone, no matter where you are on your faith journey! We will learn to read and understand each genre in Scripture as we seek to understand the diverse ways God reveals himself to us on every page. We invite you to see how His story is your story.
The Dependent Leader: Practices and Postures for Lifelong Leadership
Do you want more for those you lead than you seem to know how to offer? When your leadership leads to exhaustion and burnout, you don’t have to be told something is wrong. When your leadership leads to competition and pride, you may have to be told something is wrong. If you measure the success of your leadership by attendance, something is wrong. Having led for a year, you know the joys and frustrations of leadership. It’s now time to explore the practices and postures that will mature you into a leader whose dependence on Jesus can make you a reliable leader for His Kingdom. Not reliable for just another year at school, but for life.
*This track is only open to students who have served as leaders- either within InterVarsity or in other spaces.
SMALL GROUP LEADER training
How do I lead a small group? How do we build a thriving witnessing community on campus? Small Groups are where students connect with each other, explore God’s Word, ask questions about faith, and grow in their relationship with God. Join us to learn how to lead a small group community in the pattern of Jesus’ own ministry. This begins with your own relationship with God, and includes skills in studying Scripture, responding to others’ questions about faith and life, deepening community and witness, and the administration it takes to lead a great small group on campus.
*This track is required for InterVarsity Small Group Leaders and is open to anyone leading a small group this coming year. Before registering, please connect with your campus staff to ensure that Small Group Leaders Training Track is the best option for you at this time.
EXEC
What is God's vision for me, my exec team, and my chapter? This track will equip leaders of leaders to think about their chapters critically, creatively, and with the heart of Jesus. This track aims to mature your identity as a Christian and a leader and aims to strengthen your exec team’s relationships, all while you seek God’s vision and plans for your campus together.
*This track is invitation only for members of Exec or Coordinating Teams. Please check with your staff if you would like to be invited.
