Youth Pastor wanted?

Postby stevenson » March 31st, 2008, 5:20 am

This church http://www.gloryhillpraise.org/ has over 400 people that attend and their looking for a volunteer youth pastor. I can't believe they can't afford a youth pastor with over 400 people attending. Hmmm!

Well, I've looked at their current staff on the website and his wife is listed as co-pastor/administrative pastor. I can't say that I know this for sure by just looking at it but my assumption is they probably pay them both a salary as well as their music minister. If they already have 3 paid staff members I'd imagine they're about tapped out financially.

Yeah, I know! I just find it hard to believe. My feeling is that we need to invest more into our youth than some of the other areas that we invest in.

The church that I attend has over 360 members. The pastor and office secretary are full time salaried staff, and the worship leader receives a minimal salary. Every other staff member, including the youth staff, are volunteers.

The thing that concerns me some is that a 400 member church would need to bring in a youth pastor/staff as opposed to raising one in-house. I am not opposed to the idea, however.

I'd rather have an in-house youth pastor than an outhouse youth pastor. :)
