Discipleship Assistant
A Discipleship Assistant (DA) is responsible for promoting private Christian worship among the Taylor student body in general and his floor/wing in particular.
She or he should possess an exemplary Christian character and lifestyle (including a growing commitment to regular Bible reading, prayer and local church involvement). A DA should work well with others and have the respect of his peers, professors and any other leaders under whom she has served. This is a highly relational job. A DA must therefore be energized by relationships.
