WHY GO WITH LEADSTAFFING
WE ARE YOUTH MINISTRY EXPERTS
Our passion is youth ministry! We have 167 years of combined youth ministry experience on our team, and we have seen the impact that a healthy youth ministry can have on students, their families, youth leaders, and the entire life of a church.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO FINDING YOU THE RIGHT FIT
Finding the right fit is crucial. Our comprehensive system will allow you to minimize your risk and hire the right fit long term. As youth ministry specialists, we'll get to know you and your church culture to target, identify, and vet the right candidate for you.
WE COACH HEALTHY LEADERS
Coaching is at the core of what we do. Beyond helping you find the right fit, we want to set you and your new youth worker up to lead a healthy life, family, and ministry long-term. This is why every candidate that gets hired goes through our 100 day coaching plan, called LEADSTART, at no additional cost. After their completion of LEADSTART, we connect every youth worker with a Lead222 coach that will help them continue to grow and develop both their character and ministry skills. We’re in this with you for the long-haul, not just until we fill a position!
WE AREN’T IN THIS FOR THE MONEY
As a non-profit, para-church ministry with a passion for youth ministry, we’re not in this for the money. We do this because we love the local church and we want to see generational impact as the result of a youth worker leading a healthy life, family, and ministry. As a result our pricing is a flat fee but on a price scale depending on your church size.
LEADSTART 100 Day
Every leader knows the importance of getting off to a good start. This is especially true in youth ministry. Lead222 President Bo Boshers and Dave Choutka Director of LEADSTAFFING and Coaching have written a playbook “LEADSTART 100 DAY” to help youth workers focus on the right priorities in their first 100 days to build a strong and healthy leader. This Playbook along with their personal coaching will help any youth worker whether you are a veteran, or this is your first year in ministry. Every lesson is written from years of experience to know what the right priorities are and how to implement them. This affordable and practical coaching is a training every church should provide for their youth worker.
There is a time when every youth worker needs to re-evaluate and strategically plan where they can improve their ministry. Regardless of years of experience or size of ministry, this is a great resource to help reach more students for Christ and build a strong ministry team.
LEADSTART 100 DAY training and coaching is what every youth worker needs to start their new ministry position to ensure an effective strong foundation to have a healthy youth ministry.
