As most of you know, I completely redesigned and re-branded my youth ministry website.  After two months of testing, tracking, researching, and working out the wrinkles; I think I have my online identity established.  I was having a youth ministry blogging identity crisis.

Why the Rebrand?

www.smalltownyouthpastor.com essentially was my vomiting about working in a small church in a small town.  However things started happening and people started commenting. In reflection, the mission of www.smalltownyouthpastor.com was limiting how I viewed youth ministry and church, at the macro level.  So I started to rethink and identify what are my youth ministry essentials are in relation to my over-arching youth ministry philosophical approach.

I asked myself this question:  What do I think every youth pastor needs to target?

This is how reyouthpastor.com was birthed.  REyouthpastor.com reminds youth pastors to be theologically solid and culturally sharp so they can be effective reaching school campuses and their community for Jesus.  The four targets of REYouthPastor.com are:  Theological, Integral, Cultural, Missional.

ReYouthPastor.com 6 Categories:

Management – discusses the administration side of youth ministry

Teaching - need to know types of teaching styles or series?  This is the place you look.

Theology- it is my goal to provide a very systematic way to investigate theology.

YM, Culture, & Church – this section is devoted to the engagement of culture in regards to youth ministry and the church. Reyouthpastor.com  thinks that in order to be missional we need to exist at the intersection of life, culture, church, and Jesus.

Youth Pastor Tips – this category looks at youth pastor character and leadership development.

Jeremy Zach’s personal blog – this section tells the narrative of Jeremy Zach as a youth pastor.

I want to deeply thank my readers for allowing me to play and figure things out.  I believe the mission of REYouthPastor.com will facilitate a better educational and resourceful environment for youth pastors to gather and learn from one another.
