Announcement
Thank you for your interest! We are no longer enrolling new students in this minor, but are instead offering two new exciting, similar minors that we invite you to explore:
Why Minor in Youth Ministries?
The Youth Ministries Minor offers students the opportunity to consider theoretical and philosophical approaches to ministry with teenagers while developing beginning skills in leading and volunteering in youth ministry settings. The minor includes 18 credits in courses that study church and para-church ministry theory, adolescent issues and culture, as well as skill development courses in small group leadership, administration, practical programming, and Bible study. It includes a field placement setting during one semester (during the school year or in the summer) to develop hands-on skills in youth ministry in a supervised setting.
