I have found in youth ministry that getting some help from time to time isn't such a bad thing.  In fact having someone look at your youth ministry from the outside and giving suggestions and ideas really can ignite a new passion and excitement for your group.  It can also help problem-solve some areas of your youth ministry.

Oxymoron offers 1 on 1 church consulting to help individual churches in their youth ministries.  Some of the main areas we help consult churches in are:

• Organizing a ministry from a-z with a purpose
• How to run a retreat or trip
• How to organize youth leader's or volunteer staff's time and talents
• How to maintain a solid youth ministry over time
• How to improve teaching team's presentations and communication

We offer a variety of services to help these ministry goals and others as well. These include:

• One on one meeting with the youth worker/director/volunteer staff
• Working with a larger group (youth council/committee)
• Providing resources both physical and online for the youth worker(s)/volunteers
• Providing a report on the progress being made
• Taking an inventory of the program and making a recommendation list to help guide youth worker(s), volunteers, or youth teams

The cost for Oxymoron's consulting fees are as follows:

• The hourly rate is $75
• A three hour initial assessment is available for a $200 fee
• Project rates are available
• Transportation and accommodation costs will be charged as required
