About
Youth & Next Generation Ministry is an 8-week course designed to equip ministry leaders, youth workers, mentors, teachers, and volunteers to effectively disciple, encourage, and develop children, teenagers, and emerging young adults in their Christian faith. This course emphasizes that next-generation ministry is more than organizing youth activities. It involves building relationships, teaching biblical truth, modeling Christlike character, creating safe and healthy ministry environments, understanding generational challenges, developing young leaders, and helping young people discover how they can faithfully serve God. Students will learn practical and biblical principles for communicating with young people, strengthening discipleship, partnering appropriately with families, establishing healthy boundaries, recognizing when additional support is needed, and creating opportunities for young people to grow in leadership and service.
