Description

This book saves you time and frustration!

Finding the right youth pastor for your congregation can be a daunting task.

Don’t gamble on finding the right youth pastor for your church. Invest the time and energy in a deliberate, intentional plan for conducting the best search possible!

You’ll find answers to all your questions in Before You Hire a Youth Pastor, along with insights and strategies from Mark DeVries and Jeff Dunn-Rankin.

Avoid a “normal” search that produces predictable, normal results—a youth worker who isn’t aligned to the church’s vision, a youth pastor who doesn’t stay around long, or any number of other outcomes that limit the vitality of your youth ministry. This book is the ideal resource for senior pastors and church leaders responsible for hiring a new youth pastor. Before You Hire a Youth Pastor delivers advice and strategies on such topics as:

• ·Preparing for an exceptional search
• ·Building and structuring your search team
• ·Screening and researching candidates
• ·Conducting effective interviews
• ·Communicating proactively
• ·Setting up your new youth pastor to succeed
