Job description

Mount Carmel Bible College is a one-year discipleship program that exists to disciple students for the Lord Jesus Christ. All staff are committed to involvement with students in ways that will nurture passionate Christian faith and living, both as individuals and within a faith community. Active discipleship in the lives of students is the primary role of all staff.

We are looking for a qualified candidate to join our staff team as an instructor of New Testament. This is a full time position that runs from mid-August to the end of April (40 hours a week for 8.5 months of the year). This role requires active participation in all aspects of our program including one-on-one discipleship, trips, events, and group service opportunities. It likewise involves teaching daily New Testament classes over the Fall and Winter semesters at an introductory, post-secondary, and discipleship-oriented level. These classes will be taught from an evangelical perspective and will give students an introduction to the overall narrative of the New Testament and a foundational understanding of the Christian life. Although classes should generally be standardized to institutional expectations, the exact content can be shaped around the successful candidate’s interest and passion.

As a discipleship school, the qualified candidate must have a vital, transforming relationship with God that qualifies them to serve as a godly role model for young adults. In addition, they will use their passion for communicating God’s word in a classroom setting not only to communicate academic truths but also to ignite interest in applying what is learned.

Desired

• Teaching experience in a variety of settings
• Experience working with youth or young adults
• Experience in one-on-one discipleship
• Connections with churches, youth pastors, and other organizations that will help promote the growth of Mount Carmel

RESPONSIBILITIES

The primary role of all staff at Mount Carmel Bible College is to make disciples. While some of this discipleship happens in the classroom, all staff at Mount Carmel are committed to building lasting relationships with students and helping mentor/disciple students to live their Christian faith in everyday life. The successful candidate will serve on our team of people committed to helping shape students to live as passionate followers of God in their world.

For the school to function smoothly, there are varying responsibilities for each staff member. All staff will be expected to function as part of the team, having multiple responsibilities and leading or helping out when extra help is needed in a particular area. Responsibilities for this position include:

• Preparing and teaching four 50-minute lectures per week
• Student discipleship and one-on-one work with current students and alumni
• Participating in up to four off-site retreats or trips with other staff and students
