Mission Statement: Youth Ministry Architects exists to…
- BUILD sustainable, deep-impact youth ministries, one church at a time.
- EXPAND the competence, joy and longevity of professional youth workers.
- PROVIDE the most direct access to the best youth ministry resources available today.
Our Values
- CHRIST-CENTERED - Our foundational assumption is that this life, at its best, is found in knowing and following Jesus Christ.
- PLAYFULNESS - We take God seriously enough to prevent us from taking ourselves too seriously, making laughter, celebration and joy normative expressions of our work.
- CLIMATE - We establish a climate of non-anxiousness for churches that have become mired in anxiousness, conflict and frustration.
- RELATIONSHIPS - We build lifelong connections with our clients and connect them to the people and resources they need to accomplish their missions.
- CREATIVITY - We think “outside the box” to help youth ministries go beyond traditional models of staffing, structuring and implementation.
- RESPONSIVENESS - We enjoy giving our clients more than they expect from us, providing them with the tools they need before they can know what tools to ask for.
- RESULTS-ORIENTED - We are not dispensers of advice, but guarantors of intentional progress.
- HOLY APATHY - We take time to know our clients, their denominations and their dreams for their own ministries without imposing a one-size-fits-all “model” on churches.
- THE POOR - We construct our ministry in such a way that those in most desperate need of our services are increasingly served by members of our team.
