Description

Youth pastors rely heavily on their volunteer leaders in order to have an effective youth ministry. However, most volunteers come into a youth group with a very limited understanding of how youth ministry works, and what it takes to be an excellent leader.

This training tool (book and DVD digital video each sold separately) will save youth pastors time and give them exactly what they need to train a team of volunteer leaders that will take their ministries to the next level. Author and youth ministry veteran, Chris Folmsbee, teaches on key aspects of youth ministry leadership in each session. As volunteers follow along with the relevant and practical video lessons and engage with the Participant’s Guide, they’ll discover the tips and tools needed to become indispensable parts of the youth ministry.
