Our program will prepare you for youth ministry at both the local church level and with youth-oriented para-church ministries. Learn how to effectively reach junior high through college-aged students with the gospel message. Gain insight into today’s rapidly evolving youth culture and learn how to provide relevant guidance to students as they navigate their journey to young adulthood.
Professors with real-world ministry experience will provide valuable instruction in biblical theology, hermeneutics, youth discipleship, youth evangelism, and adolescent psychology.
Majors: Pursue a career in full-time youth ministry with a strong foundation in biblical exegesis and its application.
Minors: Gain a foundational understanding of how to effectively minister to youth.
Concentrations: Focus on youth ministry while incorporating other areas of study that can be integrated into the overall mission of ministry to youth.
