College Ministers must not just have integrity....we must go out of our way to demonstrate and practice it.
You are the face of your ministry; your response might be,"Oh no, my students are the face of this ministry.". But, it is you that people must believe in and trust. Every successful entity has a face people recognize and trust. Duke Basketball....Coach K. North Point Church.....Andy Stanley.
Students are drawn to what they see or repelled by it. Your integrity is not only important as a moral standard but as a key to your ministry.
-When people see who you are, do they want to support your ministry?
-Will parents want to send their son or daughter to you?
-Will financial supporters trust in your stewardship of the ministry resources?
-Do college administrators trust you?
What people think of a Collegiate Ministry usually comes down to what they think of the leader. YOU are the face of your ministry....whether you like it or not.
