POLL: Single in Youth Ministry

I was talking to a very frustrated single youth worker a couple weeks ago – he was rejected from several positions in youth ministry simply because he was single. I can understand why churches maybe choose this route, but it got me wondering just how open churches are to hiring a youth pastor who is single. So vote in today’s poll and let’s get a picture of the youth ministry landscape out there for single lead youth workers!
