I am excited to announce that I will be partnering with Mark Oestreicher and the Youth Ministry Coaching Program. Beginning fall of 2011 I will be hosting a cohort in Kansas City.
The Youth Ministry Coaching Program is a whole-life yearlong coaching program for youth workers. Deeply rooted in the idea that a healthy, growing, learning youth worker will stay longer and have a deeper impact for the Kingdom, YMCP constantly returns participants to the formation and expansion of personal and ministry core values.
The cohort approach allows for 360-degrees of input. The lead coach acts as facilitator and guide on this journey; but the other youth workers in the cohort will become friends and co-conspirators, as you will be for each of them. We’ll wrestle with a wide variety of youth ministry subjects, but will also process spiritual, relational, and emotional growth, in a context of safety, honesty, and real life application and accountability.
In the coming weeks I will be offering more details but for now go HERE to learn more about the program. You can also watch this video for a peak into an actual cohort: Youth Ministry Coaching Program Video
Stay tuned for more information (dates, locations, etc.) in the coming weeks!
Awesome, glad you are doing that Chris. I just watched the video this morning and it looks like a beautiful context for development and shared journey.
Thanks, Jon. I am really looking forward to bringing this to Kansas City.
