Sustainable Youth Ministry

Sustainable Youth Ministry by Mark DeVries provides a practical and strategic framework for building youth ministries that remain healthy, stable, and effective over the long haul. Rather than relying on personality-driven leadership, short-term momentum, or constant program reinvention, this influential resource helps churches develop strong ministry systems, leadership structures, volunteer pipelines, and long-term organizational health.

Drawing from years of ministry coaching and consulting experience, DeVries addresses many of the hidden challenges that cause youth ministries to struggle with inconsistency, burnout, and leadership turnover. This book equips pastors, youth leaders, and church leadership teams with practical tools to create ministry environments that are sustainable, scalable, and deeply rooted in healthy culture and intentional discipleship.
