in my opinion, scripture says that a woman cannot be the head of the church of have authority over man, right? i agree with that. this sounds immature, but to me, a youth pastor is kind of like ... the shoulder of the body. still under the head (the pastor) but leading another part. I am an 18 year old soon to be graduated highschooler who is going to college to study Youth Ministry. Yes, I'm female, and yes, I feel God calling me into youth ministry. to lead. God has given me a gift of leadership, compassion, and patience. and a love for teens (peers right now). I feel as if the struggles I have gone through in life can be used to glorify God through reaching out to other teens who struggle with the same things I have faced in the past. I think God is calling me into youth ministry and I feel confident in that enough to believe that God is okay with a woman youth pastor. I will have no authority over man. I will have authority over man's offspring until they become man (or adult) themselves, so to speak. But even then, the main authority and decision maker will be the senior pastor. I do not believe it is wrong.
