"Leadership in Youth Ministry"

Interview with Jonathan Meyer • Grace Church, Des Moines

An Interview on Leadership in Youth Ministry

We’ve got another interview as part of our Spring Leadership Emphasis series that we are structuring around The 4 Pillars of Church Ministry. In this audio interview, we dig into the second pillar, Youth Ministry. We talked about why it’s essential to prioritize discipleship with the next generation, and some of the challenges that come with student Ministry – like the pervasiveness of technology.

Welcome back to The BCI Cultivation Co-Op, where we’re all about arming you with proven leadership tools and resources to help you take the next step forward in your church ministry role. We’ve got Jonathan Meyer, the Student Ministry Director at Grace Church in Des Moines, joining us for an amazing chat which originally appeared on the BCI Podcast. This is a long interview, but we think you’ll find that every minute is packed with ministry wisdom, so you’re gonna want to tune in!

The most important part of growing in your ministry leadership is putting it into practice. What’s the biggest takeaway you had from this conversation? Maybe it’s taking a next step in one of those key topics like discipleship, tech, or engaging parents. Whatever it is, we want to encourage you to tell another ministry leader what your action step is, and then, in faith, take that next step.

“What stood the test of time for us, in the middle of COVID when all the churches were shut down, was having a solid plan for making disciples with students.”
