Youth pastor

Youth pastor

A youth pastor, or Christian youth minister, is a pastor who is trained specifically to work with youth. Most youth pastors serve young people between twelve and eighteen years old.

In the United States, many Protestant churches that consist of more than 150 people employ at least one youth pastor.Fact|date=February 2007

While youth pastorship used to be considered a stepping stone on the way to becoming a presiding pastor, the trend is currently moving toward treating it as its own vocation. Many Bible and Christian universities and colleges now offer undergraduate and graduate degrees in youth ministry.
