WHY GO WITH LEADSTAFFING

WE ARE YOUTH MINISTRY EXPERTS

Our passion is youth ministry! We have 167 years of combined youth ministry experience on our team, and we have seen the impact that a healthy youth ministry can have on students, their families, youth leaders, and the entire life of a church.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO FINDING YOU THE RIGHT FIT

Finding the right fit is crucial. Our comprehensive system will allow you to minimize your risk and hire the right fit long term. As youth ministry specialists, we'll get to know you and your church culture to target, identify, and vet the right candidate for you.

WE COACH HEALTHY LEADERS

Coaching is at the core of what we do. Beyond helping you find the right fit, we want to set you and your new youth worker up to lead a healthy life, family, and ministry long-term. This is why every candidate that gets hired goes through our 100 day coaching plan, called LEADSTART, at no additional cost. After their completion of LEADSTART, we connect every youth worker with a Lead222 coach that will help them continue to grow and develop both their character and ministry skills. We’re in this with you for the long-haul, not just until we fill a position!

WE AREN’T IN THIS FOR THE MONEY

As a non-profit, para-church ministry with a passion for youth ministry, we’re not in this for the money. We do this because we love the local church and we want to see generational impact as the result of a youth worker leading a healthy life, family, and ministry. As a result, our pricing is a flat fee of $8,000 to find, vet, and help you hire the right youth worker. This allows us to offer our services well below the industry average.

We are so thankful for the help Dave and Lead222 provided in our search for a Youth and Online Engagement Pastor. Dave took the time to get to know our context of ministry and exactly the kind of guy we were looking for. He then found a number of candidates that we were able to evaluate – and within 4 months we had the position filled! I would highly recommend going with Lead222 if you are looking to fill a Youth Pastor position in todays market – they are well connected and found a great fit for us!

Lead222 Youth Ministry Staffing not only helped me find a healthy church where I feel confident jumping into leading a ministry, but they've continued to walk alongside me as I've gotten started. This team won't place you somewhere and just hope it works out, they will continue equipping, challenging, and cheering you on every step of the way during the transition!

Overall, our experience with Lead222 Youth Ministry Staffing was wonderful. Dave took the time to really understand the needs and vision and culture of our church so that he could recognize candidates that could help us fulfill that vision while being a good fit for our team. He sent over two great candidates, one of whom was hired within 60 days of signing our contract. Daves communication was excellent, and it was refreshing to know he genuinely cared about the outcome of our student ministry. After vetting over 35 candidates on my own, I truly couldn’t be happier with the achieved outcome through Lead222 Staffing.

Dave Choutka has become an amazing mentor in the last few months. He offered to step in and guide me through my job search and played a very vital role in the process. From reading through job descriptions with me, to giving me advice on what to aim for when it came to my desired salary. Beyond that, Dave was consistently checking in and praying for me through the process and continues to check in with me to this day. It is a privilege and blessing to have Dave in my corner.

Anytime you have to hire someone from outside of your organization it is a risk. There’s just no substitute for knowing someone’s character & competence first hand. As a leader if I don’t know the individual personally, the next best thing is to have someone I know and trust who does know them. And there is nobody I trust more in evaluating and developing leaders than the folks at LEAD222!

It gives me great pleasure to refer Dave Choutka, Director of Youth Ministry Staffing and Coaching at LEAD222. Dave is truly outstanding in professionalism and personal care. He is one of the few staffing representatives that has genuine concern for you, the client, and your family. He is organized, intentional and exhibits positivity in relationships. What I really appreciated was the time he took to get to know my story and all of my qualities and qualifications. The topics discussed was not only about the business at hand but also the person. Dave is one of the very best Staffing/Coaching I have worked with.

93% of every person who puts their faith in Jesus, does so before the age of 18. That’s why Student Ministry must be done successfully. However, great leaders are the hope of great Student Ministries. Finding and equipping great Student Ministries is extraordinarily hard. That’s why I love LEAD222. They have a proven track record in identifying and equipping healthy leaders. If you’re looking to hire a new leader, or want your current Student Ministry Leader to be better equipped, LEAD222 is the organization that can help you. There’s too much at stake when it comes to students. LEAD222 knows that, and can help you become a church where students are reached for Jesus, and transformed by Jesus.

In our current culture of church growth, development and staffing it is necessary to have an experienced voice helping us as Lead Pastors to navigate the ever-changing world of youth ministry. I can think of no better organization than Lead 222 for insight and best practices in this area. I have personally accessed them for staffing, direction and will continue to use them in the future.

In a church where family ministry is the main effort, we depend on a strong and well-lead Student Ministry team. As our ministry has grown, Lead 222 has not only helped identify current members of our team, they have partnered with us in the coaching and leadership development of this team. Bottom line - their understanding of student ministry and leadership development is unmatched.
