Case Study Paper
Bayside High School is a moderately sized high school within in a moderately

2. sized college town within Texas. Recently a need has been shown for YoungLife there.
YoungLife is a high school outreach ministry that focuses on winning the right to be
heard through being present in the lives of unchurched unbelieving students. A
committee of 15 adults built of students and teachers have raised 10,000 dollars and
shown extreme interest to allow this to happen. Understanding that much of the work of
creating an organization is on the front end certain measures need to be taken. The plan
and structure of YoungLife at Bayside high will revolve around the 4 pillars of the CBS
Leadership Model: Character, Vision, Skills, and Relationship.
Part I Character
Before taking a leadership role, any leader has to be established in his or her
character. It is one of the least spoken or promoted traits of leaders. People often speak of
persons dynamic speaking, intoxicating personality, or an intangible leadership quality
that compels others to follow. Those things are fine and right, however without character
there are as useless as a water pistol in a forest fire. Oswald Chambers describes character
as the combination of discipline, wisdom, decision, integrity, and courage1
. In order for a
leader to lead, it is necessary for the leader to set the example. In order to set the example
character needs to be formed.
Character hinges on each of the four qualities, each of its “vital organs”. Much
like a human body, everything can be working properly to its full potential, however as
soon as one of the organs goes out, health is in jeopardy. In the same way character

believer. [Updated ed. Chicago, Ill.: Moody Publishers, 2007.

3. without any of the four qualities is completely futile. If discipline is lost, then even with
wisdom and courage at one’s disposal, the ability to carry it out actions is lost. If integrity
is lacking then people will not follow, for the leader cannot even lead him/herself.
Character is the foundation of a leader’s make up and most needed.
Therefore in the formation of the ministry of YoungLife within Bayside high
school I would evaluate my character, as well as ask my inner circle to evaluate my
character beforehand. I would ask those around me to honestly show me my blind spots
and seek after the Lord for wisdom. After the fact of gaining peace from my peers and
mentors I would begin to build a team around me that has proven themselves to have
similar character. I have 10 more people at my disposal from which I would build my
leadership team. After compiling my team, with my committee of 15 adults complete I
would then begin to cast the vision of the ministry.
Part II Vision
Vision is the foresight into the future. This is a simple definition for an action plan
that requires patience. In the realm of this case study it is more clear-cut. The vision was
born with the committee to have a ministry that would reach out to the non-believing
high school students of Bayside High. In the leadership compass of CBS vision refers to
the search for guidance from God the Father. It is the process of taking upon emotions
and gut feelings, and pressing them up against prayer and the bible. This is needed
because the vision needs to be mature within the leader, and the leader needs to mature
within the realm of preparation2
. Vision is needed to have full confidence. Even more so

4. it is needed so the leader understand and knows that although he has been given
authority, full authority belongs to God, and God has allowed the leader to lead. The most
valuable asset to vision is the prospective of God and His true authority. Throughout the
Bible is displayed through the prophets and leaders of the Old and New Testament.
For Bayside High I would have been given the vision to build and instill the skills
of relational ministry to the team that I have been given. Receiving vision is only the first
part of the process. The second is casting it out. One can be given an amazing vision from
God, however it is just as essential to properly cast out the vision and give it to others to
receive. I would begin with a weekend long retreat (preferably before the start of the
school year) to bring a team unity to the ministry team. This weekend would also play a
dual role, as during the weekend I would be able to observe the other leaders abilities and
strengths. I would also use this weekend to begin to cast the vision of what YoungLife is
about and the role that the leaders could play. I would begin to speak much of the
heavenly perspective and introducing the thought that we are ministry for eternal
consequences. Most of all I would win the right to be heard from the group, hopefully by
interacting and asking well thought questions that sparked conversation. I would want to
get to know each leader well, and showing sincerity so they know that I want their
success. After I would set a precedent for a bi weekly meeting in where we would plan
out the year’s events. Casting vision is as important as receiving it, I would do my best to
make sure the vision landed and was planted within each leader.
Part III Skills
Not following in chronological order, within the time of developing vision, and

5. evaluating character I would be continuously sharpening my skills. Knowing myself the
skills that I would need to sharpen and work on would my administration, time
management, and consistency. Much like anything in leadership I would not be able to
accomplish this by myself. I would try to bring on a leader within my team to help with
in an administrative role. Hopefully through the leadership weekend as well as our
meetings I would be able to find someone with the abilities to come along side in aiding
me. Administration is so important because it is doing things right the first time. Lovett
H. Weens Jr. elaborates when he said, “If there is a deadline, one meets it. if there is a
prescribed structure, one has it. If there are stated policies, one keeps them.3
”
Administration gives accountability to leadership and allows things to get done. Without
administration nothing gets done, nothing. Equality as important and essential to
administration is time management. Time is something that is valuable and yet often not
grasped. Certain things will take a very specific amount of time. If a leader is not able to
be in tune with reality and the reality of his calendar, then he will have a lack of integrity
and his word will be compromised. I would need to make sure to keep in tune with a
schedule in order to aid my administration and be accountable to my decisions and
appointments. Lastly, the glue to both components of administration and time
management is consistency. It is the discipline of consistency that brings leadership to its
full potential. Consistency is the regulator to make sure things are getting done day in and
day out. It is a painstaking, laboring skill to earn, but something that needs to be taken
care of daily. This consistency would be accomplished by setting goals daily and

6. reaching them through discipline.
Part IV Relationships
As a leader the image that you hold is incredibly important. In 1 Timothy 3 Paul
even emphasizes the importance of the view others hold of leaders
“2
Therefore x
an overseer1
must be above reproach, 4
”
Therefore with that in mind, I would make sure to keep my character and integrity in tact
with every facet of my life, including my interaction with others. While in this leadership
role I would make important and key relationships with key people within the
community. These people would include, the principal of Bayside High, the youth leaders
from the surrounding churches, and the coaches of Bayside High. The relationship with
the principal I believe would be the most vital relationship within the community, for the
approval of him/her could catapult the ministry to another level. They could help with the
promotion of the ministry as well as providing access to the campus and sports passes to
the leaders. If the principal were not on board with the ministry or against it, it would
bring that much more difficulty to the already laboring task of high school ministry. The
relationships with the youth leaders would be very important as well, YoungLife would
not be a church but a Para church ministry. It would be incredible to bring along some
partners that could share the vision to bring about fellowship and discipleship when high
school students become believers. This could also provide for potential leaders that could
crossover from the church and bring about more synergy within the community and

7. ministries. Lastly a good relationship with the coaches of the high school could go a long
way. Since YoungLife is a heavy relational ministry, sporting events are important, since
high schoolers often attend them. Being able to have access to the practices would be
very good for the ministry of YoungLife as well as the coaches partnering up to promote
weekly meetings and events.
Relationships should not be taken lightly for they can easily and quickly bring
about dissention within the organization. Very easily a neglected or poorly handled
relationship can end in the ending of a ministry or church5
. Therefore as leader I would
have to be nurturing to these relationships and sincere in my interactions.
I would hope to continue to follow through these pillars throughout the years,
however the first year would lay the groundwork for the way the ministry would run in
the future. Through character, vision, skills, and good relationships YoungLife would be
able to thrive at Bayside High School, USA.
