The
Children's Ministry degree has the primary
purpose of preparing men and women for church
ministry with children. The curriculum delivers
an understanding of the spiritual, cognitive,
moral and social development of children, birth
through twelve years old. The courses in the
major explore various models of children's
ministry and assess their strengths and
weaknesses. The course of study considers both
the methods and the components of effective
ministry to children. It relates ministry to the
children to the broader context of ministry to
the family. The degree program requires an
internship in children's ministry.
