Youth Ministry<br />

Certificate<br />

2010-2011<br />

The Youth Ministry Certificate is designed for volunteer youth workers in churches and parachurch organizations. This certificate<br />

prepares students for one <strong>of</strong> today’s most exciting and challenging ministries. Students will be equipped to effectively minister<br />

the Word <strong>of</strong> God and to meet the needs in the lives <strong>of</strong> youth.<br />

This program will assist students with essential ministry skills, a solid Biblical foundation, and an understanding <strong>of</strong> the world in<br />

which we live and minister. The result is the ability to lead youth to a faith in Christ, to nurture their spiritual growth, and to<br />

disciple them.<br />

Students will learn how to bring together theological truth and the practical needs <strong>of</strong> a changing adolescent culture. Students will<br />

understand how Youth Ministry integrates with the overall life and ministry <strong>of</strong> the local and global church. Students will be given<br />

timeless tools that will enable them to create ministry programs that incorporate the best <strong>of</strong> Youth Ministry resources with the<br />

individual needs <strong>of</strong> their group.<br />
