"Coaching has been an invaluable investment in my leadership journey. Under my coach’s guidance, I have gained strategic insight and practical tools that have significantly strengthened my ability to lead. His coaching has not only enhanced my effectiveness as a youth pastor but has also elevated my overall leadership capacity. As a result, I have witnessed measurable growth and increased engagement within my volunteer team, which has greatly enriched the ministry we provide to our students."

- Pastor Andre Crouch Jr, Youth Pastor, First Baptist Church, Glenarden, MD

  • "After being in coaching for almost 2 years, ypn has literally forced me to become such a clear leader. before coaching, i was figuring things out as i was going. young pastor network has come alongside me and helped me be clear about the direction god is leading my ministry, the events we do (and why), and developing my volunteers."

    –Drew Robinson, Youth Director, Coastal Community Church

  • “During the YPN cohort, I gained insight on how to build with the proper focus in my ministry — he helped me solidify the direction of the ministry, my teams, and the students."

    —Lexia Ledesma, Youth Pastor, Axis Church

  • "Coaching with YPN has changed the way I lead in ministry. before, i was doing busy work and day to day tasks. but now, i am able to empower people to do the work of the ministry. now, i can focus on reaching and loving more students. together, we are able to get more done.

    –JJ Hernandez, Student Pastor, Lowcountry Community Church

  • “I thoroughly enjoyed the time I had with my coach, both in the cohort and in my individual call with him. He helped me focus on what really matters for my ministry — leading leaders and discipling students. As we clarified that, he helped me see all the things we should stop doing as a ministry."

    —Bryant Stinson, Youth Pastor, New Hope Church

  • “My Coach helped me realize that just because I’m leading youth ministry doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t have standards in my ministry. In my individual call with Justin, he helped me clarify what those standards should be specifically for our context; it was invaluable and will change how I lead the ministry forward."

    —Corbin Muntz, Youth Pastor, The Cross Church

  • “The most valuable thing I gained from the YPN cohort was the freedom to be able to focus on true growth in students — not only in numerical growth, but in the spiritual depth in the lives of students."

    –Sam Ramirez, Youth Pastor, City Light Church
