Help Your Personal Leadership Thrive
These personal leadership resources are inside the LeaderTreks Starter Kit:
- Intentional Youth Ministry Assessment and Video ($20 Value)
- Youth Ministry Strategy Video and Worksheet ($20 Value)
Many ministries aren’t thriving because youth workers are leading from the passenger’s seat instead of the driver’s seat. They allow the calendar, the past, or even the latest trend to dictate the direction of the ministry rather than God’s leading through them.
Getting back in the driver’s seat first requires a good, hard look at the state of the youth ministry. Use the Intentional Youth Ministry Assessment and Video to evaluate the health of the youth ministry in the areas of volunteers, programming, discipleship, partnering with parents, and student leadership.
After some evaluation, it may be helpful to reimagine your youth ministry strategy. Use the Youth Ministry Strategy Video and Worksheet to create a clear and simple strategy that follows the “Reach, Grow, Go” model.
