Core Values
- At Servant Life, our guiding values help focus our efforts. This role will need to understand and affirm Servant Life’s core values, and must themselves be aligned accordingly:
- Gospel-Centered Ministry - Only the good news of Jesus ultimately has the power to save people from their sin and lead them to a life of hope and freedom. We select mission partners based on their commitment to Scripture, Gospel-centered ministry, and the opportunity for students to be able to share the good news of Jesus with the world.
- Long-Term, Church-Centered Strategies - Short-term mission trips must happen within a long-term ministry strategy. To see true discipleship, the relationships that are formed during trips must continue past the 6-10 days that participants are on the ground. Short-term trips should be a catalyst toward long-term ministry.
- Relationally-Focused Approach - Ministry happens best within the context of relationships. Our goal is to provide mission experiences that allow teams to have extensive, saturated time to build relationships with those they are serving.
