The Schools Ministry Associates Program

Prepare now for a lifetime of Christian ministry!

A Schools Ministry Associate (SMA) is someone who is part of a 2-year, full-time, paid gospel training program run by CRU. The focus is on sharing Jesus with secondary school students through visiting CRU Groups, and leading on CRU Educational Camps and CRU Holiday Camps. Through the Schools Ministry Associates Program, you will have the chance to make a life-changing impact on the lives of hundreds of teenagers. By sharing the gospel with them and encouraging them in their walk with Jesus, you will play a strategic role in an organisation that is reaching many lives for Christ.

What does Schools Ministry Associate training look like?

  • Bible, ministry and leadership training, including theological study and weekly preaching training through Sydney Cornhill Preaching College

  • Leadership experience on stacks of CRU Educational Camps and Holiday Camps

  • Opportunities to write and present Bible talks to high school students

  • SMAs receive a training allowance package while training and there is no charge for all the training received

  • Mentoring and support from a team of dynamic, experienced and caring youth workers

“I have absolutely loved my first year of the The Schools Ministry Associate program. My favourite part is seeing students come to Jesus and seeing their lives impacted by the gospel. We, as Christians, are all called to share the love and grace we have experienced from God, and CRU creates a great platform for this.”
— Naomi Andrews, Schools Ministry Associate, 2021
