Rev. Shawn M. Hulst | Lead Pastor - Fellowship Reformed Church 
“God is faithful! And, so are you! Thank you for your faithfulness and partnership throughout the past season of "search and discernment." LEAD222 has been an absolute blessing. It has been a privilege and source of encouragement to see how well you've served to bless the FRC Search Team.”

Nick | Youth Pastor
”Lead Start 100 paired with Dave’s coaching has improved the way I do ministry. Each assignment I took seriously and has been worth its weight in gold. This program exposed the parts of my ministry where I was having frustration (for me it is shepherding leaders) and has been both accountability and structure. As a new youth pastor in a department of one this program has proved to be some of the most valuable time and money spent. To use a metaphor, the program is P90x, Dave is the coach, and the result is a strong youth leader and program for my church! “

Troy A. Murphy | Lead Pastor, Green Bay Community Church
”In our current culture of church growth, development and staffing it is necessary to have an experienced voice helping us as Lead Pastors to navigate the ever-changing world of youth ministry. I can think of no better organization than Lead 222 for insight and best practices in this area. I have personally accessed them for staffing, direction and will continue to use them in the future.”

Michael Simmerman | Senior Pastor, Bethel Church, Owatonna, MN
”We are so thankful for the help Dave and Lead222 provided in our search for a Youth and Online Engagement Pastor. Dave took the time to get to know our context of ministry and exactly the kind of guy we were looking for. He then found a number of candidates that we were able to evaluate – and within 4 months we had the position filled! I would highly recommend going with Lead222 if you are looking to fill a Youth Pastor position in todays market – they are well connected and found a great fit for us!”

Jenny A. | Youth Pastor Candidate
”Lead Staffing not only helped me find a healthy church where I feel confident jumping into leading a ministry, but they've continued to walk alongside me as I've gotten started. This team won't place you somewhere and just hope it works out, they will continue equipping, challenging, and cheering you on every step of the way during the transition!”

Brendan Krismer | Executive Pastor. Prescott Christian Church, Prescott, AZ
”Overall, our experience with LEAD STAFFING was wonderful. Dave took the time to really understand the needs and vision and culture of our church so that he could recognize candidates that could help us fulfill that vision while being a good fit for our team. He sent over two great candidates, one of whom was hired within 60 days of signing our contract. Daves communication was excellent, and it was refreshing to know he genuinely cared about the outcome of our student ministry. After vetting over 35 candidates on my own, I truly couldn’t be happier with the achieved outcome through Lead222 Staffing.”

Larry G. | Youth Pastor Candidate
”Dave Choutka has become an amazing mentor in the last few months. He offered to step in and guide me through my job search and played a very vital role in the process. From reading through job descriptions with me, to giving me advice on what to aim for when it came to my desired salary. Beyond that, Dave was consistently checking in and praying for me through the process and continues to check in with me to this day. It is a privilege and blessing to have Dave in my corner.”

Jeff Frazier | Lead Pastor. Chapel Street Church, Geneva, IL
”Anytime you have to hire someone from outside of your organization it is a risk. There’s just no substitute for knowing someone’s character & competence first hand. As a leader if I don’t know the individual personally, the next best thing is to have someone I know and trust who does know them. And there is nobody I trust more in evaluating and developing leaders than the folks at LEAD222!”

Brad Flurry | Executive Pastor of Ministry, Kingsland Baptist Church
”In a church where family ministry is the main effort, we depend on a strong and well-lead Student Ministry team. As our ministry has grown, Lead 222 has not only helped identify current members of our team, they have partnered with us in the coaching and leadership development of this team. Bottom line - their understanding of student ministry and leadership development is unmatched.”

Ronnie Rothe | Lead Pastor, Relevant Community Church
”93% of every person who puts their faith in Jesus, does so before the age of 18. That’s why Student Ministry must be done successfully. However, great leaders are the hope of great Student Ministries. Finding and equipping great Student Ministries is extraordinarily hard. That’s why I love LEAD222. They have a proven track record in identifying and equipping healthy leaders. If you’re looking to hire a new leader, or want your current Student Ministry Leader to be better equipped, LEAD222 is the organization that can help you. There’s too much at stake when it comes to students. LEAD222 knows that, and can help you become a church where students are reached for Jesus, and transformed by Jesus.”
