What Key Qualities Should Youth Pastors Have?

As a network coordinator, I’m trying to care as much if not more that Jesus wins  than our church does.  The end game is not the biggest youth ministry, it’s working together to see students transformed in the Kingdom of God- regardless of where that happens. I’d want someone who does not have this local church as the axis around which the rest of the global church rotates.

I don’t know what that means really. I just want to be and hire pastors who have their head on straight and their life is oozing this stuff. 

I’m trying to personally create and hire people with a reputation that says they live what they believe.

I’m looking to be and work with pastors that say, “let’s rock this place and change the world one student at a time.”  I have no interest in those who want mediocre student ministry.  If youth ministry is not worth doing well, then it’s not worth doing.  Period.
