Who would be coaching me?

Veteran youth pastors with decades of experience who are committed to raising up the next generation of ministry leaders for the church

This all sounds too good to be true... why?

The Adam Keehn Foundation is a non-profit that exists to honor Adam Keehn by raising up and supporting youth pastors. Adam was a young youth pastor in Southern California and had dedicated his life to youth ministry before tragically passing away suddenly from a brain aneurysm on June 8, 2022 … 3 weeks before the birth of his daughter, Kinsley Joy.

The Adam Keehn Foundation exists to Encourage and Inspire Young Youth Pastors to Lead Students to the Gospel of Jesus by providing tangible tools to help a new youth pastor share the Gospel of Jesus … Tools that would help another “Adam”!

"The coaching has given me a broader view of ministry. So often I can get caught up in the busyness of my ministry and our church and I forget about the family of believers we have everywhere. The coaching has helped me to take a step back and see how God is working in my ministry in amazing ways. The coaching has given me a new perspective of an approach to ministry and to keep a high focus on God in the midst of change."

"The Adam Keehn Foundation has impacted me through coaching with challenging me to think outside the box of my ministry and look more deeply into what The Lord wants from the ministry."

"The coaching that I have received so far has been so uplifting! There has been an opportunity for me to bounce ideas, get encouragement, receive guidance in difficult situations, and get Spiritually fed all from an Youth Ministry Veteran! Not only does RJ have experience but he also has an intense passion for spreading the Gospel to students. It is so awesome to have a coach that shares the same values as me! Too often ministry advice is all about "achieving the next step" or "leaving the entry-level job to get a real job of senior pastor". This coaching experience has broken that mold and has been focused on bringing ministry enhancing coaching as well as affirmation of the calling into Youth Ministry.

So far, I love it!"

"My meetings with Dave are so, so valuable to me! The perspective he has as a veteran student pastor is always so helpful to me. Every time we talk about an event or ministry emphasis I am planning, I end up entirely rethinking my approach for the better! Dave's vision for student ministry challenges me to think outside of the box to overcome the challenges I face."
