If i was in your seat i would consider raising up a volunteer point person for each area you oversee, including youth ministry. You can divide your time up between those key volunteers and raise them up as leaders in your church. I think all family pastors have a natural leading toward one age range, mine is actually college. The key is even if you can't change your schedule for now watch your words. When you meet with other areas of ministry let them know you have a vision for them. Another idea... mix up the jobs between youth and children's and have everyone put their time into each age area. If you can't give up youth ministry you may be able to hand off elements to the family ministry team. Then when you gather each person has an investment in each area of ministry. Great question.

What if your at a smaller church (400-500 people) and can't only be the Family Pastor? I am the youth pastor and oversee the family ministry team. What practical suggestions do you have that I can do while still maintaining the previous oversight I have. My leadership will not allow me to stop being the youth pastor and hire a new youth pastor. ~Adam Adam.Schultz@5milechurch.org Question for you…

My first year has totally been a "hit and miss" adventure.... Your session was SO helpful for me(I'm sure my team will appreciate all I learned). I'm grateful that you shared your insights and experiences. Thanks man! Scott, after 17 years of Student Ministry I’ve been entrusted with leading a brand new Family Ministry.
