Purpose and Objectives
The Youth Ministry, Family, and Culture major provides students with the knowledge and skills to reach the next generation by preparing them to evangelize and disciple youth and their families. This degree prepares students to serve as youth pastors or youth workers in a variety of specialized settings.
In addition to the mission statement, general objectives, and requirements of the bachelor’s degree, the objectives of the Youth Ministry program are to enable students to:
- Develop a biblical philosophy and strategy for ministering to students and families.
- Understand contemporary issues and needs of students and their families.
- Demonstrate necessary skills to evangelize students and families and nurture them toward mature Christian discipleship.
Because they complete twelve hours of Bible and Theology as part of the Youth Ministry, Family, and Culture major, students also earn a Bible major.
