Some churches do require office time, some don’t. I have heard too many conversations about how youth ministry cannot happen in your office. That would be the kind of youth ministry which is built around me, a Brenda ministry. If you are spending significant amounts of your time with teens off-site of the church, the youth ministry may be too centered on you. Your role as the youth minister is to raise the youth in the church family. That takes office time as you do your creative thing to get adults involved in teens’ lives.

    Good point! Also, I happen to remember spending many hours in my youth pastor’s office as a youth. He had such an “open door” policy that it’s amazing how much work he got done in planning!
