Christian Ellis | 2023

Abstract

Trinity Youth is a vibrant youth ministry at Trinity Church in Cedar Hill, TX. Trinity Youth provides spiritual discipleship to middle to high school students through events, small groups, services, fine arts, and outreach. Youth gatherings are usually held on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings. While serving as their consultant, the following was completed:

• Developed an appropriate infrastructure – Lacking infrastructure previously, the new structure created a clear hierarchy through an organizational chart, job descriptions, and a leadership agreement for all leaders.
• Developed a Student Leader Program – The Student Leader Program provided Trinity Youth with a structured way to assimilate, train, and develop student leaders. The program included training on topics such as leadership, communication, and discipleship.
• Conducted an Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) and provided a consulting report – The OCAI is used to assist organizations in assessing their current culture and identifying areas where team members desire change. The consulting report provided Trinity Youth with actionable insights that they can use to improve their culture. This also encompassed in-person training sessions in Cedar Hill, TX, to share recommendations in-person and field questions in making those recommendations a reality.
• Conducted a Strategic Team Review and Action Tool (STRAT) and provided a consulting report – The STRAT is used to help organizations assess their current strategic plan and identify areas of growth through listening to team members’ feedback. The consulting report provided Trinity Youth with actionable insights that they can use to improve their strategic plan. This also encompassed in-person training sessions in Cedar Hill, TX, to facilitate the group discussion, and meeting with Pastor Miller to go over recommendations.
• Created a 20-week curriculum – The new curriculum provided for Trinity Youth serves as content for messages for their Wednesday Night services and Sunday morning teaching times. The foundation of the curriculum is scripture and would be relevant to the needs of the students.

Throughout my time with Trinity Youth, there was clear revitalization and restructuring that will make the organization sustainable for years to come.
