Area Director - Man in the Mirror

Various, United States | Full-time | Partially remote

AREA DIRECTOR POSITION DESCRIPTION

Discipleship changes everything.

Our Area Directors help local churches become more effective in reaching and discipling men using proven strategies that increase the number of men attending church AND the number of men actively engaged in discipleship. Area Directors are part of a national movement to help churches create an environment where the Holy Spirit inspires men to engage in life-on-life discipleship.

Position Description

Area Directors are full-time, self-funded leaders who are called to men's discipleship and passionate about using their training and knowledge to help churches do so much more with their men than the usual Saturday morning pancake breakfast. Part-time positions also available.
Area Directors are expected to maintain a spiritual life that reflects a consistent, daily dependence on Jesus Christ. Each one is a member in good-standing with his local church. If married, he maintains a solid and consistent relationship with his spouse. He is engaged with men on a regular basis to help them grow. In turn, they can help the Area Director maintain his own faith relationship with Christ.
They serve church leaders in a consultative manner, offering strategies, methods, and tactics that have a significant, lasting impact.
They provide their expertise to the church at no charge because they are surrounded by people that resonate with the vision and mission and want to be a part of their ministry. They provide financially (and prayerfully) what is needed for the Area Director to do his work. Area Directors are good stewards of their ministry funds.
Benchmark surveys are administered periodically so that progress can be measured over time on a quantitative basis - meaningful data for a pastor and his leadership team.
Area Directors are focused. They set annual goals and provide monthly reports on key metrics critical to the success of the mission.
A Regional Director is assigned to every Area Director for coaching, guidance, prayer support and more.
An Advisory Council and other similar initiatives are created to help the Area Director succeed with his funding initiatives, provide strategic insights, support his work with local churches, and general accountability.
Successful Area Directors continue to build meaningful relationships with churches, and provide ongoing information, assistance and support. They serve as an engaging role model and reliable, capable resource. They are active in discipling men and leaders in the community. They build and maintain transparent, consistent, collaborative and effective working relationships with the Man in the Mirror staff, their Regional Director and the other men in the field.
Comprehensive training is provided for carrying out the work of an Area Director as well as how to raise funding for your ministry budget. On-going training is provided via in-person, webinars and video conferencing. Training is also provided at "Reunion", our annual conference for all Area Directors.

Man in the Mirror is a non-denominational ministry. We do not emphasize particular theological issues nor are we interested in Area Directors who are pursuing a "cause." Area Directors who use the gift of tongues will refrain from promoting the public or private use of that gift and from using the gift of tongues in a public setting. *

As an Area Director, I commit to not promote any other agenda than Man in the Mirror’s in my official capacity. I will not promote a particular theological viewpoint or ministry strategy that might be seen as divisive to other churches. *

I will encourage pastors and lay leaders to implement the principles of the No Man Left Behind model that are appropriate to their situation. This will be the dominant focus of my interactions. *

I understand that every Area Director will raise a minimum amount of funds to support their ministry. Tuition-based training for this is provided. *

Please explain your skills and talents that fit this position description. Bullet points with a brief explanation of each are fine. *

From your prior work or church leadership experience, please describe a situation where you demonstrated the ability to lead a team of employees or volunteers.
