Leadership Roles 2012 2013 ASIAN AMERICAN INTERVARSITY CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON For 2012-2013, AAIV will use a new structure in the way leadership is arranged and coordinated.

Small Group Leader (TBD) A key component of AAIV s mission is to build community, and small groups is really where community happens. As a small group leader, it is your responsibility to partner with your co-leader to plan, lead and facilitate weekly scripture studies. But more than that, you will serve as a small group leader by spending time with people in your small group, building deep relationships with them, and helping them get to know and follow Christ. It is your responsibility to foster an ohana community where students can see God s love being lived out in your life and in your small group. A small group coordinator will be responsible for guiding you through the growth of your small group and will support you by being available for questions, help and prayer.

Team Ohana Power (4) The ohana of AAIV is not meant to be static or exclusive. Instead, the dynamics of our fellowship should constantly change as we openly invite new people into our family and pursue Jesus together. The community that God gives us is not just for certain people. Team OP cares for the new students in our fellowship, and constantly thinks of ways to offer hospitality and support across campus. It is important that you want to serve others willingly out of love without compulsion. This is an opportunity for you to serve in areas of welcoming and witnessing, hospitality, and prayer. If you are able to extend yourself to a variety of people, not drawn to cliques, and have the capacity to serve and pray for the fellowship on a wide scale, then Team OP might be for you!

The Worship Director leads and casts the vision for worship ministry by leading and supporting the Worship Leader(s), taking care of administrative tasks, and guiding worship ministry as a whole.
