Supercharge your volunteer training
Volunteers don’t just show up on your doorstep fully prepared to handle all that student ministry will throw at them. Most of the time, their hearts are right but they need to be trained. It is your job to take their passion and form them into great volunteers. When you have well trained volunteers, it
What the church communicates as important
If you’ve worked with teens in church for any length of time, perhaps you’ve heard someone say they following to you… “Those teens keep talking during church!” “They were passing notes during the sermon!” “Can’t you get those teens to come in from the foyer and sit in the pews?” “Did you see how those
Book Review: Sifted
Have you ever contemplated the following words of Jesus in Luke 22:31-32, where Jesus says to Peter – Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” “Sifted: God’s

What Teens want in a church
I got asked this question the other day – “What do teenagers want in a church?” It’s a tough question to answer, because its like asking “What kind of music do people like?” or “What food do kids eat?” What people look for in choosing a church is often personal taste – location, denomination, people
Happy Holidays, Merry X-Mas, and other such junk
“Happy Holidays!” You hear that from the lips of a cashier at the local store. Clearly, she’s a spawn of Satan who wants to demote Christmas into a day no bigger than Memorial Day, New Years, or Thanksgiving. “Merry X-mas!” That was written on the inside of a Christmas card from a relative who you

About

Welcome to BillNance.org. For the past ten years, I have been “in the trenches” of youth ministry – as a volunteer, part time, and full time minister. I’ve served in churches of all shapes and sizes. I’ve dealt with teens and helped many to have a vibrant, growing relationship with Christ. Now, I want to help other youth ministers become more effective in reaching the teens and families in their community.

I am sure you want to know a little more about me. I am 32 years old. I have been married to my beautiful wife for over 6 years, and we have three incredible children together. I love my family very much, and they bring so much joy into my life. If you want to hear me brag, just ask about them sometime! Other than that, I am a pretty normal person. I love sports, friends, movies, video games, technology, and reading. At least, when I have time for all that stuff in between changing diapers!

Like I said, I want to help the local youth minister. I know what its like to be on the front lines. I’ve been there when teens have given their lives to Christ. I’ve cried when they’ve gone through a crisis. I’ve hurt when those who are supposed to be members of Christ’s body taken shots at other Christians. I’ve celebrated when a student goes from the kid throwing spitballs in the back to passionately leading for Christ. I’ve dealt with budgets that consisted of more cents than dollars. I know that you need as much help as possible. That is why this site exists.

First of all, I want to offer my services as a speaker to your ministry. Do you need someone to speak at your next retreat, town rally, youth group night, or even Upward Awards ceremony? I would love to talk with you and help you work it out. If you want more info, click on the TALKS tab to check out all that I offer.Or, if you are ready to book me right now, click on the BOOKING tab above and submit the info. If you have some questions, you can eitherCONTACT ME or you can take a look at the FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS to see if I answer your question.
Second, I am a trained Real World Parent seminar presenter. If you’re not familiar with RWP, you can either check out the info I have here at the Real World Parent Presenter tab or check out the Real World Parents Website for more info. RWP seminars are geared to help parents become godly parents. Since parents are the #1 influence on their teens, it is important to have parents who are taking up their role in the right way.
Finally, I offer my insights, links, interviews with other youth ministry professionals, freebies, and so much more on my blog here at the site. Just click on the HOME tag and it will send you to the blog. Feel free to comment, contribute, or whatever. I don’t have it all figured out yet, but I hope that what I offer will be of benefit to you.
