Building sustainable Youth Ministries... One church at a time.
About Us
Churches today face a tough reality: They want to build thriving ministries to teenagers,
but very few churches know how
Most simply resort to handing the entire responsibility to young, inexperienced youth directors who are then asked to bring "their own visions" for youth ministry to the church. A hit or miss proposition at best.
If the hired youth director happens to be a superstar, the church is thrilled by all he or she brings to the table (at least until that irreplaceable youth director leaves in a few short years ... or months). If the youth director is less than stellar, the youth ministry can easily become mired in a climate of criticism and complaint, as the parents and church staff members become increasingly obsessed with "fixing" the current youth director.
But thriving, sustainable youth ministries can never be built on a parade of young, enthusiastic leaders try to piece together a disjointed collection of ideas from popular models, books and seminars. Churches remain frustrated and floundering in their youth ministries not because they can't find "the right staff" but because they have not first determined their vision and established the structure for their ministries.
At Youth Ministry Architects, we believe there is a better way, a better way than one-size-fits-all training events and quick-fix searches for superstar staffers.
It all starts with building intentionally.
So like Architects, we don't tell churches what they want to build. We start by listening and then show them a blueprint of exactly how they can move from where they are to where they want to be. And then we walk alongside them as to make sure that they build the kind of infrastructure they will need to create the youth ministries they dream of having.
We have made it our mission to help churches establish sustainable, deep-impact youth ministries, one church at a time.
Over the last four years, Youth Ministry Architects, has begun to emerge as the standard for excellence in youth ministry consulting, effectively transforming struggling youth ministries to thriving ones.
