Youth Ministry Network

The coaches of the Youth Ministry Network may share similar titles but each one has a unique perspective on student ministry. God has used their backgrounds, experiences and individual Christian walks to develop special insights.

If you are seeking encouragement and advice in a specific area of ministry, such as:

  • Event and Activity Planning
  • DiscipleNow
  • Mission Trips
  • Transitioning High School Students to College
  • Time Management
  • Outside-the-Box Thinking
  • Training
  • Sunday School and Small Groups
  • Legal Issues
  • Equipping Parents
  • Crisis Management
  • Youth Worship
  • Mentoring Students
  • Fundraising
  • Volunteer Recruitment
  • School Campus Ministries

Consider contacting a Youth Ministry Network coach. When you request a consultation you can select your specific area of ministry, and of course, if you have general questions or concerns about student ministry we also can help.

Consultations can be by phone, e-mail or in person. Part of this service is provided by the Kentucky Baptist Convention through gifts to the Cooperative Program, so there is no fee for an initial consultation. If a church requires in-depth consultation or long-term assistance, some fees will be necessary to help offset the coaches’ expenses.

No one understands youth ministry better than another youth minister. Get connected with a coach by calling (866) 489-3574 (toll-free in Kentucky only).

Another way to network is through the Facebook group, Kentucky Youth Ministers.
