Youth ministry rebuild
At nineteen, Ezekiel inherited a youth ministry of about ten students after the previous youth pastor resigned.
What changed
- 01Grew the core volunteer team from 3 to 10, with a bench of 30 to 40 people called in only three or four times a year for big events, so nobody burned out.
- 02Set aside dedicated budget for four major events a year and funded weekly programming separately.
- 03Built team meetings around Care, Commitment and Communication, a rhythm Ezekiel still teaches.
- 04Weekly attendance grew to 60 to 100 students.
