Abstract

This study was designed to discover what the local church (youth workers, senior pastors, parent volunteers) believe are important areas of knowledge, character qualities, and ministry skills for full-time youth workers. The scope of this research included full-time paid youth workers, senior pastors, and parent volunteers serving in ten local, protestant, evangelical churches in Columbia, South Carolina, and surrounding cities. Qualitative research procedures in the form of personal interviews were conducted with a total of thirty-six individuals using a set of predetermined, open-ended interview questions. Curriculum recommendations specific to the Youth Ministry program at Columbia International University are presented as a case study for how the results of this research can inform evaluation and improvement of youth ministry programs.
