The BCI Cultivation Co-Op has a new inspiring interview with Will Mitchell, the Youth Director at Keystone Church in Ankeny, as part of our Leadership Emphasis series focused on the “4 Pillars of Church Ministry,” with the second pillar being Youth Ministry. During our interview, Will shares his personal calling to youth ministry and highlights the unique needs of ministering to Gen Z. He also stresses the importance of authenticity and community in disciple-making.

As always, we challenge you to reflect on your biggest takeaway from the conversation and consider modeling authenticity and exploring the resources Will mentioned to take your next step. You can also check out bciowa.org/youth for more top resources for youth ministry.

“I think the biggest question is this: How are you bringing more people into the process? If we think about discipleship as being ‘intentional relationships,’ how are you multiplying your effectiveness and your impact? and Do your leaders have a clear vision for what it takes to step in and disciple students?”
