We build world-changing, high- impact, small group ministries

Youth ministry consulting

Youth Ministry is broken. 

WE KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.

  • Working day and night, nights and weekends isn’t healthy.

  • Not everyone has the budget for the whole lights and show.

  • No program can make disciples. You can’t map the transformation of the human heart.

  • The fastest growing religious denomination is “none.”

  • 80% of Catholics who leave the Church to join the ranks of the “nones” are younger than age 23.

  • You never got into ministry to run silly games and eat stale pizza.

  • The average burnout for a youth minister is 2 years or less.

You are your best asset

We believe God’s work is most visible in us — not in textbooks, worksheets, or programs. 

Discipleship is a process, not a program. When you have a team of people who pursue youth, offer their witness and shoulder their crosses, life-changing ministry can take place.


Learn Discipleship

What people are saying

“In two short months after completing our training, we now have 6 groups being formed and nearly 40 teenagers participating!”

Fr. Corey Litzner, Pastor, Sacred Heart Church, L'Anse, MI

“Everett has given us invaluable direction as a Pastorate to help us establish disciple centered youth ministry. The teens attending the small groups are growing in commitment to Christ and their Catholic Faith, and are a witness to the other teens that they have invited to participate. I highly recommend Everett and Andrew Ministries to any parish that is looking to strengthen their youth ministry with meaningful evangelization focused on mentoring life-long Catholic disciples of Jesus Christ.”

— Fr. Richard Gray

Pastor, Our Lady of Sorrows and Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Edgewater, MD

 

“The Holy Spirit brought Everett to us when we were forming our high school discipleship ministry. The guiding principles he offered were foundational and we still use them today! With his accompaniment, we grew our ministry to over 250 souls by the end of year four! His work has helped transform our school and the lives of our students.”

—Addie Magruder

Graduate Ministries Coordinator, Dowling Catholic High School, Des Moines, IA
