Need help preparing for youth ministry!
I have been a teacher of 3rd-5th grades in a public school for the past 12 years. God has called me to follow Him into youth ministry, and I am doing it. I will be participating in a year-long mentorship this fall. What elese would you suggest I do to prepare for youth ministry in regards to training? (i.e. seminary) Thanks!

I'm guessing that as a teacher you likely have a Bachelor's degree or equivalent, many Christian universities offer a 1 year certificate that is treated like an add-on to an existing degree. This will help you get a stronger theological background that is a great asset to have in youth ministry. Thank you! I plan on pursuing some sort of seminary. |

I don't know how much more prep you can do... when the opportunity arises, I believe God opened that door because you are prepared. One piece of advice: Connect with others doing what you do. Be open to grow from what they are doing right and/or wrong. Read a lot... growth is your most important tool next to surrender. In my opinion, student ministry is one of the most rewarding ministries in the church - enjoy the ride! Thanks for the advice. I know God had me teaching for 12 years for a reason- just didn't know this would be it! |
