It’s been so fun to see the ebook I published last fall help hundreds of youth workers take their youth ministries from being a mostly directionless ministry to a focused youth ministry.

Instead of haphazardly moving from event to event, lesson to lesson, and meeting to meeting with little correlation or direction between them all, these youth ministries now have a clearer focus on what God’s specific vision is for them and how to implement it in a way that is sustainable long-term.

So far this ebook has only been available as a PDF from The Life In Student Ministry Store, but it’s now approved for publication in the iBookstore and for Amazon Kindle!

If launching your youth ministry in the fall with a clear focus on what God wants to do through it and where He wants to take it is something you’d like to develop, this will give you very practical steps to do that either from scratch or to fine-tune what is already in place.

“Tim Schmoyer’s little ebook 30 Steps to a Focused Youth Ministry is a rare treasure, because it over-delivers on its promise. Tim nails one of the embedded problems facing ministry people who are searching for vision and direction—we all too often “try to cook someone else’s recipe using completely different ingredients.” This step-by-step plan for finding, implementing, and evaluating your own God-given ministry vision will not only change your ministry’s trajectory, it has the horsepower to change your life.”
