Interview with Courtney Bankroft

At the end of college, she stayed on as an assistant to the campus pastor.
"If you feed them they will come!" College students Love home cooked meals.
She was going to start a Chi Alpha at Villanova, but their sister school Georgetown
She believes that discipleship begins even before they are saved. She readily involves non-saved Chi Alpha attendees in hanging out fliers or other things of that matter. She does not place the unsaved in positions of spiritual leadership, but she belives that getting them involved helps them to stay, and eventually leads them to make a decision to accept Christ. I definitely agree. Getting someone involved helps them to come back and stay involved.
In her Chi Alpha meetings, she tries not to monopolize the conversations. She says that she tries to talk the least in her Bible meetings. When asked about who talks the most in her meetings, she answered that the Chrsitans talk the most. She said she was more willing to ask a Christian to be quiet or even to leave before she will ask an unsaved atendee to do so.
When taking people to church, she has a really good church to invite them to, but when asked her opinion on churches by students in her ministry, she is torn between the real problems in her church and her pet peeves. She said that her major pet peeve is worship from the early 90's or simply bad worship. An unsaved person coming into the church does not care that "Jesus likes my worship" they care if you are a good musician and if your songs are modern and cool. I definitely agree. Even as a person saved for many years, bad musical quality is distracting in worship.
When itinerating she travels to many different churches. In speaking in our class full of possible future pastors, she was asked about her experiences at different churches. She said that the number one bad experience that apparently happened multiple times was pastors trying to set her up with their sons. I think this is hilarious. AG pastors are silly people.
She said that one problem she has in raising money is that any time she is having a meeting with a pastor then there has to be another woman present. I'm not sure if that's a correctable problem because of all the things involved in a pastor and a woman having a meeting alone. A more real problem is that MANY male pastors do not want to give up their pulpit for a whole service to a woman. Yeah this is a big problem. Stupid male pastors..... wait a minute..... im male and planning to be a pastor.....
