The B.A. in Youth Ministry will train students to be specialists—equipped to help meet the needs of young people and their families. The program has a solid foundation in Bible and theology, a strong emphasis in arts and science, and a primary focus on courses that directly prepare students to help teens deal with the complicated issues they are facing. Throughout the program, students have opportunities to minister to youth in our local churches and high school, Youth Quake retreat, a nearby youth drop-in centre, field education training, an internship, and other possibilities. This program is designed to provide students with the character development, spiritual growth, biblical and theological grounding, and the skills needed for full-time or lay service in youth ministry. In addition, students in this major have the opportunity to complete a four year Bachelor of Arts with one further year of study to receive a Master of Arts degree in Christian Ministry (Youth and Family Ministry major) at Briercrest Seminary |
