Youth Workers Who Twitter

By Adam McLane on August 01 2008

Twitter is all the rage this summer. What’s interesting about the Twitter phenomenon is that it didn’t start among adolescents. (Like other social networking sites Facebook and Myspace.) It really took off within tribes of people… and youth workers represent a fast growing tribe of Twitter users!

So, here is our non-comprehensive list of youth ministry folks who twitter. It’s totally subjective and filled with people we follow, feel free to add someone to the list if we missed them. Of course, feel free to post yourself as well!

• Brooklyn Lindsey
• Chris Day
• Doug Fields (maybe you’ve heard of him)
• Gavin Richardson
• Jasper Rains
• Jeff Lukins
• Len Evans
• Matthew McNutt (of Biggest Loser fame)
• Mark Matlock (I had to sneak in at least one YS person!)
• Michael Marchand
• Sara Eden
• Shelby Craig
• Tim Schmoyer (the blogfather of youth ministry these days)

Within the YS family we do some twittering. Here’s some of our company twitters you can follow:

• YS_Scoop
• YSJay
• YMX
• YMwomen (relaunching very soon)
• PlanetWisdom
• DCLA

If you are more into senior pastors and other very serious church leadership type folks, you may want to check out their growing list at the Catalyst Blog.
