This Ministry Skills Stream aims to help participants to gain an understanding of the broad nature of Youth Ministry and how to apply this understanding in a practical framework for effective Youth Ministry.
50% of the worlds population are under the age of 25. As a church we are called by Jesus mandate to go to all nations to make disciples.
We will explore how we might live this out with the teenagers in our immediate worlds. We will navigate what the Bible teaches together with kinesthetic learning to equip us to minister with teenagers and partner with their parents.
