Become Equipped for Youth Ministry
The Youth Ministry Certificate Program prepares students for leadership roles in ministry with adolescents. Rooted in theological reflection and the study of the unique developmental journey of youth, the program equips students for evaluating various models of ministry with adolescents and developing their own biblically based, theologically sound approach. A focus on teaching and mentoring youth is supported by study and practice in evangelism, discipleship, counseling, recreation, and assessment of cultural systems and influences that affect youth, with a goal of guiding youth to Christian maturity and participation in the Church’s ministry.
