Supervision
Supervision is an ongoing open ended professional relationship
where the supervisor helps a youth pastor reflect critically
on his or her ministry. Supervision is aimed primarily at
those in paid ministry who have a supervision requirement
as part of their employment. In the process of supervision,
coaching (see below) will occur. However the underlying agenda
is that of helping the youth pastor grow in their professional
competency, whereas in coaching the focus is more on finding
resolution in the issues faced.
Coaching
Coaching is a limited term contract where the youth pastor
or leader brings specific issues or problems to the coaching
relationship for the purpose of exploring answers and receiving
outside suggestions and advice. Coaching is for anyone –
the paid youth worker or the volunteer and is committed to
on a session by session basis.
