CYMT – Graduate Residency in Youth Ministry Program, Children’s Position

You will develop life-long relationships that encourage and support you in your ministry.

Coaching – Receive regular coaching from a youth ministry veteran to help you apply what you’ve learned and master ministry skills. Your coach will also help your church staff and congregation develop a healthy understanding of the role of youth ministry in the life of the church.

Classroom – The coursework is designed to help you understand more than just what to do in youth ministry. You’ll learn to think theologically about the ministry you lead and have the knowledge to design ministry programs that help students develop a deep, life-changing Christian faith.

Church – Gain in-the-trenches youth ministry experience by serving 25 hours per week in a local church.
