Youth Pastor Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
I am a college student and it has been almost four years since my high school youth pastor moved onto another job, and I feel like God has put it on my heart to do something to show him how much he really did to show me how to have a relationship with Christ. He now lives pretty far away, and I want to think of a small gift I could get him. Any ideas?

My youth pastor says that many of the rocks will be contaminerated and slippery. But he said this is just what the USA needed because it will provide many good paying jobs. He also said that as we have dominumen over the earth and all its creatures, that this oil spill is likely to help us more easily catch the fish and the shrimp because they will simply float to the surface and save us time, money, and effort. I thought this thing was really bad, but NOW i am thinking otherwise.

I was thinking about joining the air force on a small year contract, taking the money I earn from that, and go to college. But what if being a youth pastor doesn't make enough money. What would be another good job to go into thats always in demand for new people, makes a decent amount of money, and is secure to where I don't have to worry about being laid off?

The connotations are just terrible. Here in the USA you hear almost daily of an abusive "Youth Pastor". Is that the creepiest religion related job title? The one that should strike fear into the hearts of any thinking parent?

I work part time as a youth pastor and I don't have any taxes taken out. I just want to know so that I don't have a surprise come April 15th 2011. I make 200 a week. Altogether I make about 40,000 a year including my other job that is not at the church.

I'm almost in college and looking at Liberty University and get a bachelor's in youth ministry. First of all, in a baptist setting do they allow women to work in the ministry other than as a secretary or office aid. I want to work with students particularly but not as a youth pastor. Secondly, is this uncommon? Will I be able to find a job? I think this is what God is calling me to do, but I need some help before I can make this huge step.

I have a crush on my former youth pastor- it's not that weird, we're only like 7 years apart in age. Anyway, it's not going to turn into anything now since he got a new job and I'm in college now, so how do I move on once and for all?

My 13 year old son is very creative and as a youth pastor I am always designing and getting shirts made. I am wondering if I should just try this venture on my own. I am very busy with two jobs so I don't know if we could pull it off.

What are some of the jobs and stuff they have to do? Not trolling. I was just wondering how difficult it was. Do they just sit around a lot or are they busy most of the time?

So first off, i love kids and people and try to be friendly and nice to them. Kids make me try to be a better person. I think they are the best thing in the world. So, Im going to college soon and I would like to be either a teacher (most likely elementary aged kids) or a youth ministry pastor. I dont care about money, just enough to live comfortably. I would like to hear from you guys that are teachers or youth ministers or know people that are and what you/they think of the job. Thanks a lot!

I already know you could be a priest/pastor, but I'm looking for something that's less of a public-speaking role. (Associate pastor just as an example). And for these other roles, do you have to go to seminary, or can you major in religious studies at a college? Thanks

I want to start a project with my friends to help people in my comminuty (Harrisburg Pa area). There are many people here that are 'socially bankrupt' (they will take a handout - but will not accept real 'help' - and do not desire to try to help themselves). I want to find a way to communicate to these people that there are 'good people' around here who actually care, and want to help. I have several friends (about 15 families) who are (or may become)interested in being part of this project - but probably would only be able to commit to actual 'work' every other week or at best once a week (we all have kids and full-time jobs). I think that I can 'raise' about $100 a month (maybe more) to put towards this project. Perhaps if it becomes more sucessful, I could convince our church 'youth-group' to be part of it as well (one of my friends is the youth pastor of my church).
