Youth Ministry

Youth Ministry is hard. Lots of effort. Long hours. Plenty of unrecognized investment. Sometimes it can feel like you have no idea why you got into it. Having someone to talk through all of that who has had experience in that world is invaluable.

Coaching

Coaching is ultimately about discovering your goals and finding success in those goals. Whatever the topic is, coaching will help you move forward in the places you may feel stuck.

Certification

I am certified through the National Association of Youth Ministry Coaching.

Youth Pastors

I help youth pastors who feel stuck or just need some insight so that they can be the best youth pastor possible and see transformation within their ministry.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Ricky Logsden, Youth Pastor Roseburg Alliance - Roseburg, OR

About six months ago I began exploring the idea of a youth ministry coach, as I believe one should never stop honing their craft. As I thought about WHO might be a good resource, Erik w/a K popped into my mind almost instantly. Having Erik as a youth ministry mentor has changed the game! I’ve been a youth pastor for 12 years and am still learning so much from him.

David Kao, Youth Pastor
San Jose Christian Alliance
San Jose, CA

Erik has extensive experience working as a youth pastor, a youth point person for a few states as well as a leader to organize for some national events. His experience and his struggles have encouraged me to see life beyond myself and center myself in God's identity of me. He is authentic in our conversations, being a person I can rely on for prayer, wisdom and a confidante.

Hylke Hylkema, NextGen Pastor Discovery Church - Orlando, FL

Erik is an exceptional coach! He helps me process and breakthrough log jams, gain perspective, and keeps me moving forward towards my ministry goals. He is personal, caring, a shepherd, and a leader of leaders. I love my time with Erik.

STUDENTS

Does your student need help moving forward? Are they stuck and can’t seem to find the motivation to do anything about it? Coaching is about transformation. Do you want to see your student find transformation in their life?

What are their goals? Not sure? That’s something we can talk about. Know their goals and just need help finding success there? Yup. That’s what coaching is about.

I help students find success and joy through their places where they are stuck so they can experience freedom.
