Youth Ministries
The
youth ministries major
prepares students to minister
effectively to encourage spiritual growth through meaningful
relationships, compelling biblical teaching, effective program
development, and influential leadership in a constantly changing
youth culture. The additional selection of a particular minor can
be used to equip for unique specialized ministry contexts (camp,
college campus, parachurch organizations, cross-cultural contexts,
etc.). This degree also provides a solid foundation for seminary or
other related graduate programs.
