We create thriving Youth and Children’s Ministries.

Notice that our vision focuses on the local church. We are simply leveraging what we know about ministry, empowering you to become a highly skilled and effective leader (our mission), to help the local church become more dynamic. Today’s church needs to continue to engage young people in the formation of their faith so they may use their lifetime to bring heaven on earth as Jesus instructed.

So How Do We Lead You Toward Success?

Resourcing
As a team we strive to provide you with resources that will help you win, save you time, and develop you into an even greater leader than you are today.
We regularly publish helpful articles, produce a podcast called Making Sense of Ministry, and host a community of support in our private Making Sense of Ministry Facebook group.
Values That Drive Us
In expressing our vision and mission, the Youth Ministry Institute holds true to several values. Our practice in ministry and business will be defined by these.
In addition, we measure the development of youth ministers in three areas through our core competencies assessment. Our curriculum and coaching all support each of these areas.
The Youth Ministry Institute has a big vision. We are investing our resources into one church at a time. We celebrate each church’s unique accomplishment in youth ministry. There are success stories to be told in each community of believers. With God’s favor, we will continue to participate in what we believe to be God’s vision for the world.
