Guide for Hiring A Youth Minister

What information will we receive?

I have compiled a packet specifically for churches in the search process that will help guide a church and their search committee. This packet should save your committee and eldership 10-15 hours of meeting time. This 40 page guide includes the following:

  • Who should be on the Search Committee?
  • Interview Processes
  • Possible questions and case studies to ask interviewees
  • Current salary levels in youth ministry
  • Pursuing recent graduates vs. experienced ministers
  • Sample job descriptions
  • How to get the word out about your position?
  • Who is the informal network?
  • During an interview: Questions a church will need to be ready to answer
