Your First Two Years in Ministry

7/9/2012

 
This book by Doug Fields offers some golden nuggets for those just entering into the youth ministry field. (They have been adapted specifically to Pathfinder Ministry.) Here they are:

·  Relationships are the key to a healthy ministry.
·  A healthy 'pathfinder' ministry reaches not only the 'pathfinder', but the entire family.
·  You WILL encounter conflict, so learn some effective tools of conflict management.
·  Don't be a Lone Ranger 'pathfinder director'. A team of leaders is essential.
·  Don't forget the value of student leadership in your ministry.
·  Continually evaluate what you're doing. Remember what worked in one location or church may not work in another...and vice versa.
· Don't come in and change everything at once.
· Be gentle with yourself - the first two years in a ministry are very difficult.
