creating a leadership team

Published Saturday, January 13, 2007 by Jason Retherford | E-mail this post

One of the challenges of youth ministry has been creating and sustaining a viable youth ministry leadership team. I am 3.5 years into full time youth ministry, and the hardest lesson to have been learned is that you can’t do youth ministry by yourself.

So, this past year and into this year I am looking to equip my small group leaders and other adults for further, better, and deeper ministry. So, if we aren’t developing other leaders we are aren’t really leading. I don’t think there is magic formula for training leaders. But, as leaders ourselves we are called to equip God’s people for works of service.

So, what I am looking for are people who desire to work with students. I am looking specifically for people who are called to this unbelievable task, we call youth ministry. I think a related component to desire or calling is committment. I am also looking for people who are committed to Christ, His Word, service and understanding youth culture. I think one other area that I will be praying about in this search for leaders is availability. Leaders have to be available to their flock.
