Collegiate Minister Full Time

Collegiate Minister
Location: Huntington, WV
Position Overview
We are seeking a Faithful Man (25 years of age, or older) to be the Full-Time Collegiate
Minister to lead and grow a thriving student ministry at our Church, located two blocks
from Marshall University in Huntington, WV.
About Us
Legacy Church Huntington began as a church plant to serve the students of Marshall
University (about 13,000 students). Legacy Church is strategically located two blocks
away from Marshall’s campus, and right next door to The Village on Sixth Avenue, an
apartment complex that houses approximately 800 Marshall Students. Legacy has two
major ministries that serve those students.
Café Legacy is a fully functioning Coffee Shop with craft espresso drinks in the front of
Legacy Church Huntington’s building. All drinks are always 100% Free. Admission is
strictly limited to college students with proof of Student ID and Church members. This
ministry serves over 100 unique students every week, and over 300 Unique students
throughout each semester.
The Tuesday Table is a collegiate and young professional bible study. This weekly
event always starts with a home-cooked meal, prepared by members of our community.
Food and Fellowship is followed by a discussion-based bible study. This semester
average attendance was about 30, with a reach of 75 unique students over the course
of the whole semester.
Mission
While we have seen much success in both of our College outreach ministries, most of
the students attending are already a part of a different congregation. We truly believe
that a weekly home-cooked meal and a safe place to study for college students are
worthy ministries in themselves, but we know that many students at Marshall are still
being unreached by church completely. We would like to unify our efforts to target
unchurched students through these ministries in order to grow our congregation on
Sunday mornings. The major missing component is a presence on campus. The
Faithful Man hired for this position would be on campus to engage students and invite
them to these ministries, and ultimately to Church on Sunday mornings.
