• Family: The youth minister does not do ministry in a silo, but as part of the God-ordained plan of raising up children to honor Christ. As such, they recognize the primary role of parents, and do everything within a framework of empowering and assisting them in their role as the primary spiritual leaders of their children.
• Vision: The Youth Minister sets the direction of the youth ministry in a God-honoring way.
• Shepherd: The youth minister shepherds the spiritual life of students. This includes teaching, relationship building, counseling, and other related activities. This can include being active in their lives, providing safety in all programming, and more.
• Student: All ministers are also expected to be learners. They should be learning about Scripture, cultural trends, educational tools, and more. To make disciples, the youth minister must set the example of being a disciple.
