2) If the youth ministry is unsuccessful in three years, what would that look like? 3) Are you hiring someone to work with each individual teen or someone who oversees a team that relates to individuals? 4) What do you expect the big church involvement of the youth to be? FAMILY BASED? 5) What does the church do with regards to families? 6) How do you help encourage families? 7) What do you see the role of parents in the life of teens to be? 8) How does this relate to a youth pastor and to the youth ministry? (all the questions here are to get at one thing...the role of the family in relation to that of the youth pastor. Does the church see the parents as your resource or do they see the youth pastor as the parents resource?) Labels: Jobs +
