DIRECTOR OF YOUTH MINISTRY

Professional Summary

Creative and Driven Director of Youth Ministry with over ten years of experience in student ministry leadership. Exceptionally knowledgeable about fifth through eighth grade kids. I am someone who loves meeting up with people to talk about where they are in life and in their faith. The way I show love to others is by actively listening and praying for wisdom and thought provoking questions so as to best help the person I'm with gain new insight into whatever situation they may be facing.

As for youth, I think they are a group of people who feel and understand more than we give them credit for. It's such an important time in their life when they are forming the values and beliefs that they will probably hold for the rest of their lives. So instilling a solid foundation and identity in Christ is so crucial. I think having proud Christian leaders who make sure kids know that they are loved so much by God and themselves whilst also pouring bible teachings into them in fun and engaging ways is incredibly important. My goal is to help youth strengthen their personal relationships with God so that when they are in the world or no longer under their parents roof they are able to stand firm as Christ followers and have their own personal desire to seek out a deeper relationship with God along with Godly community to help them grow.
