A generation ago, student ministers would often make the leap to the lead pastor role after a few years. Does this kind of move still happen? If so, is it a good thing or not? Unfortunately, sometimes ministry positions outside of the lead pastor are seen as a lesser role in the life of the church. Josh and Sam break down the good and bad of leaping from student ministry to lead pastor.
Good: Student ministry can be a great place to develop leadership skills.
Bad: Treating student ministry as a stepping stone perpetuates the “less than” perception.
Good: Younger pastors need a place to mature and gain experience.
Bad: Overconfidence with success in student ministry can be a recipe for a hard fall in senior roles.
Good: God can call people through a progression of roles within the church.
