CFW TRACKS
● Servant Leadership: One of Jesus’ greatest attributes was his ability to lay down his life for others. He was willing to do everything necessary for others to experience the full love of God. Is this the type of leader you want to be? If so, this track is for you. God is calling many of you to serve others. There have been politicians, tech professionals, educators, and scholars who learned to be Jesus-centered leaders in their careers because of what they learned through InterVarsity. Stepping into leadership on campus will be the bridge to world-changing leadership after college. Chapter Focus Week will deliver Jesus-centered intangible leadership skills and character development for those wishing to be servant leaders.
Prerequisites: Small Group Leadership
● Small Group Leadership: If you haven’t been formally trained in small group leadership, this track is a must. You will gain the skills and character development needed to lead others toward transformation by studying and applying scripture. This session will teach students how to inductively study the bible and give them a scripture to lead in order to explore “being led by the Spirit” or “healthy conflict”.
● Mark Track: An in-depth manuscript Bible study of select passages from the Gospel of Mark. Get a new and deeper look at Jesus, the Kingdom of God, and what it all means for us, our campuses, and our world.
