While the Healthy Youth Ministry Framework is designed to help you improve the health of your youth ministry, there are some key things that it cannot take into account.

If your ministry is new, your team is new and inexperienced, or your ministry has recently undergone a transition, these things (and many others) will be reflected in your score. This is not to say that a higher score is automatically a sign of a ministry with lots of problems, but rather that the ministry has lots of opportunities to grow and be strengthened. The primary goal of any youth ministry should be to present Jesus and encourage the young people in your care to follow him, and this survey does not measure whether or how well you’re doing that.

We are here to support you as you consider your results and enact plans to improve on any areas that you feel need improvement.

Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback along the way, and click here to start the survey.
