Oversee the mid-week youth program. Visit the high school campuses if possible and allowed by the schools and interact with the youth on a personal level. We have untapped potential at several high schools and middle schools that are in our area. Meet weekly with the other staff for prayer and interaction. Staff unity is crucial to a healthy church. Recruit youth workers, train and develop a staff that will help fulfill the youth ministry based on the vision statement. Currently there are seven volunteer workers (Sunday and mid-week). Plan events that reach out to the unchurched youth of the area along with events that help in connecting youth together. Have periodic meetings with the parents of the youth to discuss any concerns they may have and to inform them of future plans. Keep parents updated on ministry strategies and plans in a way that encourages partnership and involvement. Communicate with the elder board regarding the youth ministry and keep them informed with what is happening in the youth ministry area. You are not expected to attend the full board meeting unless you choose to or are asked to. Working with the Missions Team, plan and promote short-term opportunities for youth.
