As those who care for young people we want them to have faith in Jesus. We know that faith comes by hearing the word of Christ but how do we engage young people with the Bible in a way that draws them in a builds them up? In the youth ministry module we look at the purpose, principles and priorities of youth ministry so that we focus our efforts on what's most important rather than wasting time on other things. We explore how youth ministry fits in with the ministry of the whole church, partnering with parents and the local church in their role of caring for young people.
The youth ministry module will challenge, stretch and enhance your understanding of youth ministry, equipping you to truly minister to young people and, with God’s help, develop lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ.

• examine good practices for working with youth under 18;

• explore youth ministry within the wider faith community;

• explore selected issues of contemporary youth culture;

• develop virtue in students in regard to youth ministry;
