Recruiting Volunteers—Justin and Kurt
Why Summer is the best time to recruit leaders
You have a lot of fun events and gives people a taste of students at their craziest. Get a leader to see the beauty in that and they will go crazy over them in group.
You can’t take the summer off from recruiting cause fall is coming
Language to use
What did you do last year to say you moved the needle on spiritual life in me and around me?
No matter the answer ask them about investing in a Jr. High Student this year. Everyone had someone or wished they had someone and they can pay it forward or be the person they needed.
Don’t say someone’s no for them
Make the ask and let them say no. Don’t be afraid to ask
Have a 2-3 minute elevator pitch
Your best recruiters are people already serving and attending.
Who in their circle can they ask?
Get students to ask.
Invite them into something specific
Don’t have eyes bigger than your stomach
Are you ready if you grew by 10 leaders tomorrow? Is there is a plan and process in place so they are not in the queue for 6 months?
Katie Edwards (DYM Podcast and Saddleback Church)
Connecting with females in your youth ministry
Focus on the times you are with them weekly. Have those spaces to have significant conversations.
Healthy touch is important
A high five is touch. It does not always have to be a hug.
Great eye contact and get rid of distractions. Give warmth in your voice and how you ask questions
Keeping volunteers
Create a family community that will minister to the family (their students)
Katie-isms to cast vision and leadership
People over protocol, people over programs. Love people well. The goal is love and care for people if they are in the church or not.
Innovation and Newness to the ministry
Never Stop Learning. Learning leads to innovation
Evolve with what’s best for the kids—think of new ways to communicate
When brainstorming make sure you have different thinkers, ages, and other
different types of people
Don’t skip the debrief—successful idea/event or not
Make sure you understand the audience. The more you know the lower your frustration will be and help you be more effective
Practice and experience things together with a middle schooler. (serving, learning scripture, etc)
Missions
Getting them into environments with they partner with the local church in other spaces
Expands their view of the kingdom
Helps them see outside of themselves
Middle schoolers are fearless and are willing to step into things and having a life changing experience like that can get them into next level ministry
Find an organization that your church trusts to take care of the “scary stuff” and then you can just be with the students

Mike Branton (Christ in Youth)
Environments—Where you meet is just as important as what you are meeting about
How will they hear if we are not intentional about the space
First impression for families
You may only get one chance with a parent. Make your space so it looks like you knew they were coming.
You don’t have an excuse for not being intentional with what you have
Having a clean space is vital.
It is an act of worship to have a clean space (Think tabernacle in OT)
Things your environment should help communicate
Signage (from street to seat)
Safety
Specific age

Mark Oestreicher #13 thing he loves about Jr. High Students
You can still take ‘em
Ben Trueblood(Lifeway Students, Director of Student Ministry)
Parent Ministry
How do you get parents to embrace their role as spiritual leaders?
Use different phrasing and equip them. Many do not know how to disciple. So disciple the parents. By: Groups for parents, or student pastor jumping in, or partner with other ministry environments. You can start with a few parents and then send them out to disciple others.
Don’t try and be a Subject Matter Expert on parenting if you are not.
Jeff Wallace(Right Now Media, Director of LYFT tour and Youth Pastor Summit)
Student Leader Selection Process
No need to be rooted or long but you need a step to make sure they are serious
Ask Grade
Ask their passion
Ask how they define leadership and why they want to lead
Put references but don’t make a big deal (ask for a teacher or coach who has seen them lead)
Caleb Kaltenbach (Founder of The Messy Grace Group)
How do you handle LGBTQ?
You need to be having conversations about this, so you do not overreact when it happens.
Ask questions and set appropriate boundaries. Ask questions and do not throw out Bible verses.
Thank them for trusting you and dig deep to get to know more
You must be comfortable with them coming and not correcting everything they do
Still, need boundaries like with heterosexual students
Dating couples in different cabins and groups
Your job is not to fix them
It is your job to help them identify with Jesus more and make that their primary identity
It is not about behavior anymore but more about how they identify
Be intentional in all things you teach and how you reach (1 Cor. 9:19-23)
Trans-students?
Tread carefully. You do not want to embarrass or humiliate a student. Each situation is different, and conversations are essential.
Always remember to live in grace and truth
