I was a youth pastor 15-17 years ago, pre marriage and pre kids. Finally got back into it last week, now married almost 14 years & 5 daughters deep, including 2 in the youth group. This channel would've been so dope back in the day, but glad I found it today because it's a godsend. Thank you!
@anthonyhernandez7073 - that's so cool that you now have both perspectives of pre-kids and now with kids! My goal with our content is to always provide the information I wish I had when I was starting out 😀
Just starting out in youth ministry and your channel has been nothing short of a blessing for me. Especially on helping me get more organized, I was all over the place 😂
Thank you so much!! I'm a call youth Leader a true depiction of God doesn't call the equipped He equips the called..So far so good I started our Church Group 6 years ago with 3 youth. I suffered a stroke 1 year in and had to take a year and half off could not walk or talk. GOD used this old Gal to refocus..Now I have 22 to 25 Youth... Things have gotten cray cray !! 🤪 I've gotten more control but seems a little boring at times yikes that's to me...lol So I've found you guys and I'm excited!!! I'm benge watching ..lol this is my 6th one ...Thank you!! Prayers for your Ministry.
Wow Georgia! This is such an incredible story of service, dedication, commitment and faithfulness....it's so awesome to hear that God is doing amazing things in your youth group!
This is really helpful...I've been tasked to arrange an internal retreat for the youths in my church....and it's like my first time....this is really helpful.. Thank you
@@MinistryCoach Thank you! I am a Full-Time college student and a Part-Time Youth Minister at a church in Illinois. I minister to both Junior High and High School students!

My First job at 12 years old - Scorekeeping Softball for the local girls league. I got paid $7/game! I would make like $56 per day on a weekend. it was amazing
Kids today will never know the joys of going to an arcade with a pocket full of quarters....although I feel like everything comes back in style eventually, maybe we will see a resurgence of arcades popping up!
My first job was funny. It was my 9th grade computer instructor I saw at a store working because I love computer and there was none at home. I volunteer to work for him and later I got a job and starting receiving pay.
Our middle school ministry meets on Tuesday nights and our high school ministry meets on Wednesday nights. Both meet for every weekend service, but each have their own room and pastor 👍
@yvonneberko3674 - yes, you absolutely can...I wouldn't personally recommend those days just because students and families often have other things going on during those days, but if it works for your church/community, you can surely do it; however, I would recommend a mid-week day: Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
Just starting for youth group buttttttt having problems connecting with them…. They really don’t wanna be active on a group chat to have a Youth Name or Logo or anything in general! So do I just cut off the Text Group Chat? And save it for Sundays only? I’m totally bummed out about it
My first job was working a now extinct department store Wards. Do you have an response time for the kids after your message typically before small groups or do you move to small group and have prayer then?
I remember Wards!!! We do a prayer after the message, break into small groups and then they have some time to pray in small groups as well. Thank you for watching!!
First job was good ol’ Mickey D’s! I’m taking on my first position as a youth ministry pastor and have some (many) questions… is there any way to reach out to you personally?
That's an awesome first job!! 👏 Congrats on your new youth pastor position!!! You can always connect with us through email at MinistryCoachPodcast@gmail.com, we try to get back to people as quickly as we can!
Yes, we use some of the other classrooms at our church for small groups so that they have privacy and less distraction. If you have the option, I feel it's better to separate them like that so they feel comfortable sharing. 👍

You are welcome! Glad you liked it!
First job was working as a custodian at a church. Good perspective have before going into youth ministry ;)
You went from cleaning up the messes to making the messes 😂....and probably having to clean them up again.
I am a new Youth Minister and now I am a new subscriber to this channel! 🙏🏼
Congratulations on becoming a Youth Minister! Thanks for subscribing! Where is your church located and what age group do you minister to?
@@MinistryCoach Thank you! I am a Full-Time college student and a Part-Time Youth Minister at a church in Illinois.

Love it! I probably would have spent that $56 at the snack bar 😜
@@MinistryCoach free snacks and water!! I saved up and bought a camera after my senior year.
TACO BELL!! LOL GREAT INSIGHT
@jazzycoach1 - Thank you!!
thanks for the learning it help me to handle youth...
No problem! Thank you for watching, Emilio!
Great Channel. Thanks Guys
Thanks for watching! We appreciate you!
My first job was working at an arcade! I miss the arcade days!
Kids today will never know the joys of going to an arcade with a pocket full of quarters....although I feel like everything comes back in style eventually, maybe we will see a resurgence of arcades popping up!
My first job was funny. It was my 9th grade computer instructor I saw at a store working because I love computer and there was none at home. I volunteer to work for him and later I got a job and starting receiving pay.
He lucked out by having someone so dedicated that they were willing to work for free!
First job was at 15 years old at Chick-Fil-A :)
So you are saying you got Sundays off 😂 9/10 times that I think about going to Chick-Fil-A, it's on Sunday 😩
My first job was at a bowling alley but my second job was at auntie Anne’s which is basically wetzels 😂 I loved pretzel twirling!!!
Pretzel twirling is a fine art 😂- what did you do at the bowling alley?
First job was at a local K-Mart... Only lasted like a month before I quit lol
That's impressive that you lasted a month LOL (also, RIP K-Mart😬)
Where do you guys get the money for the impossible shot to give away?
@eaatlife - it comes from our "Snack Shack"
You have said to never combine middle and high school. When does your middle school group meet and when does your high school group meet?
Our middle school ministry meets on Tuesday nights and our high school ministry meets on Wednesday nights. Both meet for every weekend service, but each have their own room and pastor 👍
Can you do youth group on Friday or Saturday?
@yvonneberko3674 - yes, you absolutely can...I wouldn't personally recommend those days just because students and families often have other things going on during those days, but if it works for your church/community, you can surely do it; however, I would recommend a mid-week day: Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
My first job was at Jack In The Box, I was 17 🍔
Jeff worked for Jack in the Box one summer as a "mystery shopper!" 😂

Do you guys use other rooms for your small groups?
Yes, we use some of the other classrooms at our church for small groups so that they have privacy and less distraction. If you have the option, I feel it's better to separate them like that so they feel comfortable sharing. 👍
Do you have a template you could share? 😀
Hey Emily! Yes, I can email you a rough outline of our mid-week program. Email us at MinistryCoachPodcast@gmail.com
The kids we have don’t have any money they are poor so we wouldn’t sell anything it would be free
Understandable, have you guys ever done any fundraisers to add more to your budget?
