For 25 years, Tentmakers has been strengthening church youth ministries through leadership development, help in finding staff, strategic planning, volunteer training, and ongoing support. We also have leadership training for students! Watch a short video or click on the buttons below to find out more.

Over a 25-year period, Tentmakers has gained a reputation as having one of the premier youth ministry training programs in the country. A practical, relevant curriculum and experiential training develops youth ministers who can reach out to youth and recruit, motivate, and train others for youth ministry.

Tentmakers will conduct a nationwide search to help your church find and hire just the right youth ministry staff. They will recruit, prescreen, and recommend candidates that match your criteria. Tentmakers stands behind every placement with an unconditional one-year guarantee. As part of the program, you have options such as training for your youth minister, strategic planning, or other training and resources.

The first step to creating a Christ-centered, purpose driven youth ministry is the development of a Youth Ministry Management Plan. Tentmakers can assist your church in creating a ministry plan that establishes clear goals, values, and a solid strategy. Clearer direction, higher enthusiasm, and greater involvement result.

Leadership Quest is a challenging, wilderness-based, one-week program for high school juniors, seniors, and graduates. Students leave this experience fired up and equipped to make a difference in their churches, schools, and communities.
