Build the Team Around You
For college and young adult ministry leaders ready to build a team that holds — not just helpers who fill tasks.
Who Is This Training For?
This training is for church leaders doing the work of reaching, discipling, and forming college students and young adults — and who want to keep growing in that work. Whether you're full-time, vocational, or a volunteer who shows up every week, this hour is for you.
What This Training Is About
Most college and young adult ministry leaders I'm sitting with right now don't have a team — they have helpers. And they're starting to feel the ceiling that comes with that. This training walks through the structure for moving from helpers to a real leadership team — one that carries the mission, grows together as disciples, and holds what you've built when you're not in the room.
What You'll Walk Away With
- A clear way to tell who's ready to lead — and who's just willing to help
- Language for naming the discipleship expectation in your next leadership invitation
- The structure for building a team that holds the mission and doesn't depend on you to keep going

Andy Abramson is the founder of Elementum, a relational ministry helping churches and leaders reach, disciple, and form college students and young adults. He has spent over two decades in the work of young adult ministry — and now invests in the leaders doing that work across the country.
Each month Andy brings a focused, practical training drawn from what he's seeing on the ground — what's working, what's shifting, and what leaders need to keep growing.
These trainings are free. No pitch. No pressure. Just an hour that's worth your time.
