Yes. You will have to go through our New Staff Training if you are applying to be a full-time field staff (eg, Campus Ministry, LeaderImpact, Crea, The Significance Project , FamilyLife, etc where the job scope involves outreach, disciple-making, coaching, mentoring). Besides classroom sessions, you will also be assigned a coach who will mentor and coach you in ministry skills as well as spiritual and character development.
Yes you may. Please contact our Missions Department at missions@cru.org.sg.
There are a variety of staff positions you may be assigned to. In a field ministry role, you will be focused on daily outreach and mentoring.
In an operations role, you play a supporting role to accelerate the work of discipleship, outreach and missions through your expertise. Also, you will be able to spend up to one day per week in field ministry.
Upon acceptance, you will be required to attend new staff orientation where new staff members are introduced to the mission and vision of Cru. After which you will be expected to undergo New Staff Training which will equip and develop you in your character and ministry competence.
