The Youth Ministry Coaching Program (YMCP) is the oldest, most robust coaching program in youth ministry. With 600 graduates and participants, in 58 cohorts over the last ten years, we know how to nurture and deliver growth and transformative work in the lives of youth workers.
Now we’ve created a lightweight, accessible and affordable version of our trusted coaching program to meet the need.
Why YMCP Online?
In these challenging and strange times we’re living through, we’ve maximized YMCP for an online experience – YMCP Online. We believe a healthy, vibrant youth ministry needs a healthy, vibrant leader; so YMCP is less ‘skill training’, and more of a leadership development program. And excellent leadership is what our ministries need right now.
- You’ll supersize your professional and personal development in leadership and ministry.
