If you're looking to get in contact with us, you've found the right page! There are a couple different OPTIONS depending on what you need:
1. E-mail - hit us up if there is something SIMPLE we can help you out with. It could be anything from a game idea, sermon illustration or our opinion on the best burger we've found to this date.
2. Phone Consultation - need to vent a little bit and figure out how to move your ministry forward? Well, we can setup a phone consultation to help you define the "STUCK SPOT" and take action on it.
3. Full Consultation & Training Event - do you need a bigger chunk of time to get into the nitty & gritty of your ministry? If so, this is for you! We do a full Student Ministries consultation and One-Day Training Event where we come to YOU. (See a sample schedule HERE)

About the Team
We may not have the age or credentials that usually go along with successful youth workers, but we have seen God use us to grow healthy youth ministries everywhere we go. Here is some brief history of our coaching team...
Gary Hale graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a Bachelor's Degree in Educational Ministry and is currently attending Rockbridge Seminary. He started the youth ministry from scratch and saw it grow to over 100 students in less than 2 years at one of the fastest growing churches in America (Eastlake Church in Bothell, WA). He now serves as the Student Ministries Pastor at High Pointe Church in Puyallup, WA. Click here to e-mail Gary.
Lindsay Hale
The first thing you'll think when you meet Lindsay Hale is, "Her dad MUST have been a youth pastor." Her energetic and vibrant persona say it all when you meet her. Not only that, but she is also every youth pastors dream because she volunteers as many hours as a paid staff
person! Lindsay is one of the best at recognizing what volunteer leaders need to succeed, grow and be challenged in ministry. Click here to e-mail Lindsay.
David Day
David Day is one of those rare breeds that figured out that he wanted to become a youth pastor at a young age of 14. He began teaching and leading small groups at his church when he was 15 years old and hasn't looked back since. More recently, he has led student ministries of over 100 students at two churches (Eastlake Church & High Pointe Church). David is a Student Ministries Pastor at High Pointe Church and attends Seattle Pacific University. Nothing fires him up like helping non-Christians students see authentic Christianity and getting Christian students to own their youth ministry. Click here to e-mail David.

"No student ministry is perfect. We've all got next steps to take."
This is what Movement Ministries is all about. Often times, student ministry pastors get STUCK. There is so much to do and we don't know where to start. Everyone seems to need something from us. So, what do you do?
You figure out what your next right step is and take it.
Whether you're a full-time youth pastor or a volunteer, Movement Ministries will help YOU...
- assess and evaluate where your student ministry is at and what it needs to MOVE forward
- create systems that will save you TIME, MONEY and STRESS so you can focus on what you really care about in Student Ministries
- recruit, train & retain what we all want more of...VOLUNTEERS!
- succeed by providing FREE resources and ongoing support
If you've hit that "stuck" spot, give us an e-mail by clicking here. We'd love to be a resource to you as you MOVE forward!
The strategies and principles we've implemented work for YOUTH MINISTRIES OF ANY SIZE - yours could be 5 students or over 100 students!
