The
Bachelor of Science/Arts in Youth Ministry is
designed to prepare men and women for the
specific ministerial role of working with
adolescents in a variety of settings, including
local church and para-church ministries. The
major is a hybrid of the Christian Education and
Pastoral Ministry majors, since much of what a
youth pastor does involves both areas. Youth
Ministry, as a vocational ministerial calling,
is in high demand in many denominations and is
typically one of the first staff positions added
by senior pastors. In the early stages of the
major, the program gives the ministerial student
foundational information on the various age
groups with specific attention given to
adolescent development. As the student
progresses through the major, focus is given to
more advanced topics (e.g., Youth Problems;
Models of Youth Ministry; Strategies of Youth
Ministry).
