Adolescent Ministries
The major in adolescent ministries is designed for persons who wish to minister with students in youth centers, para-church ministries, school-based ministries and local churches in a non-ordained capacity. Many men and women desiring to minister with youth may not seek ordination or even employment in a parish setting and therefore would benefit from a degree which is focused more selectively on practical ministry theory and skills. (Persons wishing to work with youth primarily in a local church setting as an ordained minister should consider the ordination track of the youth ministry degree.)
This major is also an excellent major to double with Bible, Christian education, children’s ministry, sports ministries and worship as well as psychology, social work, recreation management and other people focused professions. This major is packed with experiential learning to equip you to minister to adolescents in a myriad of settings.
