Diploma in Next Generation Ministry

About this programme

If you connect with youth naturally and you want to influence the next generation, the Next Generation Ministry Program will prepare you to have a long term impact in youth ministry. Examine youth culture, various models of youth ministry, and the biblical and theological foundations of reaching and discipling youth. Further develop an understanding of the issues facing youth in today’s culture. You will learn how to design curriculum, develop creative teaching methods, become better equipped to speak into the lives of teens with discernment and effectiveness. The four-year degree program provides a deeper dive into human development with emphasis on childhood through adolescence. The two-year Diploma in Next Generational Ministry is designed to prepare you with Bible and ministry knowledge that can open doors to lay and volunteer ministry. All students will complete a 12 credit Next Generational Ministry internship – often at their home church. A week long Proactive Ministry Retreat (PMR) at Kerith Creek Retreat Centers is also expected in the four-year degree program.
