professional training and coaching for youth ministers

YMI was founded to increase the proficiency of youth ministers and reduce their turnover. Cohort learning, coordinated within each YMI regional location – YMI Florida and YMI Midwest, offer a combination of instruction, coaching, on-site evaluations and a professional assessment tool.  Click on the cohort that interests you the most to see more details.

Two-Year Cohort Learning

Youth ministers meet once per month over two years in an instructional retreat format. These youth ministers will:

  • Share best practices
  • Learn how to integrate sound theology and Biblical teaching into their ministry
  • Identify key leadership skills
  • Learn how to shape a well-rounded youth ministry in the local church
  • Individually meet with a successful and experienced youth minister for one-on-one coaching

Additionally, YMI staff will do an on-site Ministry Needs Evaluation, develop a strategic plan for youth ministry, consult regularly with clergy and staff and provide on-site support for up to three years, one year beyond the length of the training program.  Click here for more details. 

Coaching

This is ideal for the youth minister who wants to improve his or her performance but has limited time to invest in more extensive training. Youth ministers meet once per month for four months with a veteran youth minister for one-on-one coaching. In addition to the developmental cohort (face-to-face or online) and the Professional Assessment, YMI staff will do a Ministry Needs Evaluation for the local church.  

On-Line Learning

This is something on the near horizon.  We will be offering our first online course in the Fall of 2017. 

New to Ministry

YMI partners with some denominations to train interns who serve one-year contracts in local churches. Together, we empower these young leaders to consider a vocation in ministry and help them discern paths to ordination, additional education, or long-term employment in local churches. 

youth ministry needs evaluation for churches

YMI staff will spend one day on-site listening to your youth, families and leaders to help you build a customized strategic plan designed to impact your youth ministry.

 

Youth-Ministry-Professional-Assessment

Every leader is different. Our assessment tool, developed by HUMAN eX Ventures, identifies specific core competencies, coupled with a developmental plan to increase proficiency and self-awareness for youth ministers.

 

youth ministry workshops and conferences

YMI sponsors the Youth Ministry Academy, an annual conferencing option for youth ministers. Periodic workshops will also be offered in each region. Check YMI Florida and YMI Midwest for the next workshop in your region.
