Youth ministry is a crazy, difficult, fun, and heart-wrenching adventure. As veteran youth pastors, we are in the trenches with you. We love youth ministry and those who do it. We started Youth Ministry Sherpas because we know what it's like to feel the weight of this calling. Our goal is to create conversations to encourage you to stay in youth ministry for a long time and experience the blessings of longevity. We believe in you, we believe in youth ministry, and we believe God will use you to change the world for Jesus!

Why Sherpas?

If you've ever read stories or seen movies about climbing Mt. Everest, you are familiar with sherpas--those amazing dudes with the big smiles and weathered faces who help climbers reach the summit. As lifetime  residents of the mountains, sherpas have a particular set of skills:

They help guide our way
They know the terrain. They know where it's safe to walk and where it's treacherous. 
They help carry our burdens
They are servants who share their wisdom and strength to help others achieve their goals.  
They help us to keep going
They are acclimatized to the altitude because they've lived here for so long. Their stamina is contagious.

We all need a SHERPA!
