Campus Way 2010-2011 Summary and Vision

Strategy: The Campus Way recruits, hires, trains and mentors adults who develop, lead, and disciple students, on a Campus Way ministry leadership team. Campus Way ministry staff and their student leadership team then lead and implement a Campus Way group, at their local campus. The purpose of the Campus Way is to disciple student leaders who, in turn, evangelize and disciple the student body. This is done through student leader discipleship meetings with staff and outreach meetings on campus where the rest of the student body are invited and evangelized.

History

Founded in October of 2006 by the director Jay Cavaiani with four students at Kettle Moraine High School.
In the fall of 2007 the decision was made to multiply the ministry through part time youth ministry staff and a few staff were added.
In 2011 the Campus Way has grown to 8 total staff with five different campus ministries.
When Campus Way hosts a weekly meeting, camp or event we sign in students. Our student database has grown to over 700 students.
New in 2011 is a release time ministry at Kettle Moraine High where students are “released” during an extended lunch to our ministry location for 1+ hour every other week for biblical teaching, lunch and fun.

Facets of Ministry

Campus

Student Leaders-A weekly to bi-weekly meeting which takes place on each campus where students that want to go deep come to a fun, yet challenging, bible study.

Campus Ministry- A weekly to bi-weekly meeting which takes place on each campus where students come to have safe fun and build relationships. The students will also take part in a bible study, message or lesson.

Camp

Summer Camp- June An annual 4-5 day camp in Wisconsin offering engaging fun, gifted speakers, adventure, small group bible study, amazing live worship and team building.

Paid Ministry Staff Model

Ministry staff are trained, supported, and responsible for raising their support of approximately $7500 per year. Our paid staff model allows Campus Way to do four things well:

Extensively train staff up front
Require attendance at two staff meetings per month and our camps.
Hold staff accountable to ministry tasks and expectations.
Have both a ministry and financial model that addresses today’s times and allows for growth.

CAMPUS WAY BOARD

Governance

Organizational Structure: The Campus Way was founded as an independent 501(c) 3 in 2006. It is not affiliated with any other ministry or church. The local board for Campus Way is the sole controlling leadership of the organization.

Governing Board: The Campus Way Board is a governing board which means that this board has the authority to lead the ministry and execute critical decision.

Staff Director: The board strategizes with, supports, oversees and encourages the staff director who is the hands on leader. Although the board is authoritative, the board hires a director to lead the ministry on a day to day basis.

Board Positions: The board is made up of a board chairman & vice chairman who, with the director, make up the executive team. Other positions include treasurer, secretary and team leaders.

Executive Team: The complete board is the controlling board. The executive team exists for the staff director to have the ability to approach a smaller subset of the board when necessary for advice or decisions that need to be made urgently.
