Building sustainable Youth Ministries... One church at a time.

YMA For Youth Workers

If you ever feel like you are swimming upstream and alone as a youth pastor, you are not alone. 
    • You know what it's like to have more expectations before you than you can possibly meet.
    • You know how easy it is to lose your first love for Christ in the midst of the dozens of plates you're juggling.
    • You know how hard it is to find time for (or even find) a mentor who can walk with you through this journey you are on.
    • You know about all those big picture things that you want to get accomplished but which always seem to get pushed to the back burner.

We know those feelings too. In fact the vast majority of our team of over 15 consultants is still working hands-on with students in their own churches. These are not ivory-tower experts, but folks like you who have been on the youth ministry road a good many years, and have each learned the processes of building a sustainable youth ministry. 

I want to send an email to someone at YMA      (877) 462-5718 

"I just wanted to say thank you for bringing [the YMA team] into my life!  I've had some difficult days, and it has given me great comfort to know that I can call Lesleigh for guidance.  It's hard for me to even begin to express my gratitude for YMA and the ministry that you all are doing.  Thank you for devoting your life to youth ministry.  I am blessed to be one of the many people who are touched by the work that you do."
- Amanda Bryant, Youth Director
Westminster Presbyterian Church, Nashville, TN
Our YMA Team specializes in attending to the big picture stuff so you can stay focused on running the day to day work of running your ministry. If you've struggled with volunteer recruiting, building a purposeful curriculum plan, or buildilng in regular processes to set clear targets for your ministry and track your progress, we know the reason.

It's called YOUTH MINISTRY.

If you need some help tending to the essential (but not urgent) things in your ministry, if you are looking to find ways to leverage your time so that your ministry is further down the road a year from now than it is today, we may be able to help.
"Thank you for your encouraging words and faithful friendship in ministry! I'm so grateful for the journey we've been on with YMA. It has refueled my calling in youth ministry and given me new eyes to see the future! Thanks!!!"
- Alison Blocking, Director of Student Ministries
Germantown United Methodist Church, Germantown, TN

Our team provides a number of options, from a 3-day Assessment and ongoing "general contracting" of your strategic initiatives to monthly phone coaching to help you simply sharpen your own skills and leverage the limited hours you do have.  

"What can I say? Where would this ministry, the staff and the kids be without your wisdom, hard work, and devotion to HPPC? You have re-defined the word 'consultant.' We need to think of another term for your exemplary role over the last almost two years!"
-Mark Story, Executive Director
Highland Park Presbyterian Church, Dallas, TX

I'd like more information about the Assessment process.
