Why Youth Ministry Booster?

Ministry is hard. Working alone is harder.

We get it. You went to seminary, you got the gig, and now that you’re leading youth ministry, you don’t feel like
you can give any time to yourself. But the burnout is real. And let’s face it—working with teens is hard work.

(We say that with love—we love you teens.)

Both newer youth ministers and seasoned pastors struggle. It’s hard to find resources and support, and it can get hard to survive burnout—especially when you’re the lone wolf in student ministry in your church. Your days are stretched thin, your to-do list just keeps getting longer, and you find yourself focusing more on trivial tasks instead of actual discipling and teaching.

That’s where the Youth Ministry Booster community comes in.

Youth Ministry Booster is an online community membership exclusively for those working in student ministry. Through a yearly subscription you get access to resources that will strengthen your ministry, give you spiritual community with like-minded people, and rekindle your passion and energy for student ministry. (Plus, we’re pretty fun.)

You weren’t meant to do ministry alone. Do it with us.

Hey friend! I’m Zac Workun from Youth Ministry Booster.

YMB has been a nexus for a lot of youth ministry leaders to find connection, community, and soul-care over the last 7 years. Can I share a few things I know to be true about youth ministry with you?

Youth ministry has never been more difficult, and it’s never been more important!

Your calling demands a community.
After 20 years in youth ministry, I can tell you that more than any number of students, positions, or speaking gigs, it’s the quality of peer relationships that will keep you in it, after it, and far from failure.

Everything you tell your students is true for you too.
The need for regularly meeting. The support of a small group. And, a few key people that know you well enough to not let you slip into your worst mindsets or sins.

Get connected, stay connected.
Youth ministry is relational work. So networking is a superpower. Being in an intentional and national community with peers is good for your soul and good for your future.

Investing in you is investing in you(th) ministry.
This is a lesson that took me a long time to learn. Small investments of your time and resources will carry you further. I think that’s why so many youth ministers are obsessed with new tools, planners, or apps. We are hungry to know how to get the most out of our time.

I say this a lot but hear it sincerely: I am a big fan of youth ministry, but even more so of you!
