A Practical Guide for Hiring with Wisdom and Keeping Youth Workers for the Long Haul

Hiring a youth worker is a great opportunity for God to do some new and exciting things through the ministry of your church—whether you are filling a vacant position or staffing a youth worker for the very first time. It’s not the occasion to rush things, cut corners, or settle for the first person who comes along. The youth worker, the students, and the whole church will suffer the consequences.

 

There are some very gifted, passionate, experienced, and theologically grounded youth workers out there. We hope that this resource will be helpful for you and your church in your quest to find the person who is the best fit to lead the youth ministry at your church for a long time to come.
