“THANK YOU!! My youth has been growing and new kids are coming every week and COMING BACK for the first time in four years! Thanks again for all you do! This has been the best investment into the growth of the ministry.”

Alyssa R. - IOWA

“YMGA has literally been the best thing that has happened for my ministry….it has given me so many practical ideas, coaching & mentorship. There are things that can be used whether you are a small church or a big church or anywhere in between. If I could talk to anyone about YMGA, I would say, “Go for it…Right now! It pushes your ministry to the next level, it grows you as a leader, and it truly does make your ministry healthier.” - [Josh] (his ministry grew from 5 to 25!)”

Josh B. - MISSOURI

“I use soooo many of your ideas and my students LOVE it! I started with about 12 students, we went to 50 students after about a year; now we get between 75-100 students each week between our Highschoolers on Sundays and Middleschoolers on Wednesdays. Thanks for all you do!”

Karl S. - MINNESOTA

“When I first started this program, I probably had about 10-12 students on average, now we have about 25 students on average! I have learned a lot from this program and continue to learn and have a lot more that I want to implement. I can definitely see a huge difference in the tone and vibe of our youth ministry. I can see a lot of spiritual growth in our leaders and our students as well. I am so thankful for Kristen and Youth Ministry Growth Accelerator!”

Katie V. - VIRGINIA

“We started with just 6 students and now we have 26! From a living room to having to put out additional chairs on Sunday! We’ve been a church for a little over a year and have seen the Lord move in miraculous ways!!!”

Liz G. - NEW JERSEY

“Before I took the Youth Ministry Growth Accelerator, my group was extremely unorganized...our attendance was getting lower and lower. I was very discouraged and burnt out. Through this course, I have learned how to become a mature, organizational leader for a youth group. If you are like me and you didn't really know what you were doing but you have a heart for youth ministry and you know you're good at it...please take this course! It will benefit you, it will benefit your church...Since implementing what I've learned through the course, the youth group has literally doubled in size (from about 25 to about 50)”

Chase M. - ARKANSAS

“Before I started YMGA, I was doing everything all on my own. I now have teens helping me with our songs & our games. My favorite module is on planning, scheduling & organizing. If you not only want to grow in youth ministry but grow in yourself, I highly recommend this course. I have put these lessons on repeat & I have pages of notes.”

Claira P. - OREGON

“As a student of YMGA, it’s great. The monthly calls are worth it alone, but the extra supplies and instructions with detailed info is clutch.”

Luke K. - COLORADO

“You are amazing, seriously, everything you are doing for us in this group. It's been so helpful, and how hard you are working to put everything together. Thank you for blessing us all! ”

Matt C. - CALIFORNIA
