Why Minor in Next Gen Ministry?

The Next Gen Ministry Minor offers students the opportunity to consider theoretical and philosophical approaches to ministry with the next generation, while developing practical skills that can be used for leadership and service in ministry settings. 

The minor includes 18 credits in courses that study church and parachurch ministry theory, child and adolescent development, and ministry and culture, as well as skill development courses in leadership, administration, practical programming and Bible study. It also includes a field placement setting during one semester (during the school year or in the summer) to develop hands-on skills in ministry in a supervised setting.
