Mobilizing Missional Leaders, Volunteer Recruitment Strategies, and Building Pipelines That Multiply

Vitals for Youth Ministry

Joseph Kellogg shares his strategic approach to leadership development in youth ministry, focusing on how to mobilize leaders for a missional youth movement. His four-year strategy prioritizes multiplication at every level, creating systems that transform followers into commissioned leaders who can effectively reach Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
• Joseph has been in youth ministry for 24 years and recently returned to lead youth pastor role at Victory Church in Tulsa
• The key to reaching 30,000 teenagers in his area is building a robust leadership pipeline
• Added 50 new leaders in three months through "intense intentionality" in recruiting
• Created clear pathways for leadership from student leaders to adult team leads
• Leadership development meetings called "Heart and Soul" provide monthly training and connection
• Measures success by leadership multiplication metrics, not attendance numbers
• Uses Jesus' model of calling, championing, coaching, and commissioning leaders
• Recommends starting with a mindset of "refusing to do ministry alone"
• Encourages youth pastors to identify specific ministry roles and turn them into teams
• Connect people's passions to their purpose by offering various commitment levels
• Create regular leadership huddles before and after services to build team culture
