Conversation. Connection. Community.

Walk with MINISTRY EXPERTS and others from around the country through essential ministry TRAINING and ENCOURAGEMENT

Community, ideas, experts, and inspiration you need to thrive in 2021!

With each cohort, you will have a group of other Youth or Children's Ministers that understand you, recognize your challenges, celebrate with you, and pray with you.

Each cohort meeting will focus on a particular topic - you'll know the area we're going to help you grow before you even arrive in the group time.

You will find the conversation, training, and topic pros that you need with two cohorts to choose from.

You will have personal access to the Youth Ministry Institute staff during the cohorts.

What Past Participants Have To Say About Their Cohort Experience
"During the time of COVID, it has been particularly hard to maintain my creative engine. YMI's cohort not only gave me specific ideas for ministry, it gave me space to release the weight of ministry that has been hampering my creativity. Having a place to hear that my struggle is being shared, that others are in the boat with me, has been life giving. Thanks YMI."

"I decided to try a YMI cohort because I was new to student ministry. I met amazing people, was able to get different feedback from other churches around the United States and was able to be educated on topics very important in this day and age. The hosts listened and gave great feedback to conversation around the table. Great ideas were found listening to other people in churches different than my own. Seeing different things in other people's eyes were what I found amazing...Thank you!

Times like these call for an army of support, not a lone ranger.

Don't be a lone ranger!

Why is this different than a local network of youth or children's ministers?

These cohorts are like a caffeine-fueled community, in overdrive - filled with pros and people looking for the same thing as you!

You need a local support network - we completely agree! These are more like a highly focused group poised to take your ministry to an entirely new level.

Did we mention there will be topic pros and personal attention from the Youth Ministry Institute staff?
