Career Path: Youth Pastor/Minister - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Question 3: Are you aware that the salary for your position differentiates from small to large scale churches? When I was hired my salary was considerably less then the average youth worker because I was given a parsonage to live in as part of my salary (which is a huge benefit). I am aware that larger churches tend to be able to offer a greater salary for a singular focused position and unfortunately smaller churches have less financial freedom to work with and often create positions that are multi-focused to cover more areas of ministry. For example, my position is technically half time director of worship and half time director of youth. These are two very big jobs that larger churches can hire one person per job for.
        
        Question 4: Are you an ordained minister? If not, have you ever considered getting ordained? I am not ordained. I have considered and prayed about this multiple times in my career but never felt like it was the right time or right move for me personally.
        
        Question 5: What is your favorite part about your job? My favorite part of my job is seeing the growth in the lives of people, particularly teens as they mature and grow in faith. Watching them grow right before my eyes over the course of middle school and high school is so very wonderful to see. I count it a privilege to have an opportunity to share Jesus and my faith with young people in a time of their lives when they are growing and understand who they are as individuals. This work has eternal consequences and to partner with God in helping shape young hearts is a high calling and one that I treasure.
