The Youth Ministry major prepares committed students to reach today's youth for God. The program explores the developmental stages of children and adolescents, the contemporary culture in which they live, and the timeless truths of God's Word. Each youth ministry major is stretched in his/her personal walk with the Lord in order to become the model of God's grace that will speak to young people. In addition to learning about the programmatic aspect of youth ministry, each student learns the value of building relationships as a means of ministry. Finally, each youth ministry major will have structured real-life experiences in ministry, called practicums, to try out and refine what was learned in the classroom. Join us in this adventure of academic learning, spiritual growth and life-changing ministry.
