Better Youth Ministry
This channel is the video hub for Better Youth Ministry. I'm Trevor Hamaker, and my goal is simple: help youth pastors see their potential, develop their skills, and reach their goals.
I have 15+ years of experience working with students as a volunteer and as a pastor on staff. I've been at small traditional churches and large contemporary churches, so whatever your context is, I can relate because I've been there myself.
The videos on this channel are meant to be practical and helpful. Some of my favorite topics are:
• youth ministry games
• preaching and sermons
• how to grow your ministry
• how to reach more students
• how to plan your youth group programs
• how to recruit and train small group leaders
If those sound like the kinds of things you're interested in, then subscribe and stick around because you're in the right place!
