YTMN-3203 Models and Programming in Youth Ministry
This course introduces the student to the current models of youth ministry and programming (i.e., PDYM, Cells, Relational, Young Life, FCA, Sonlife, K-Life). Philosophies of the different models will be discussed allowing the student to integrate a model(s) into his-her philosophy of ministry. Types of programming will be discussed that fit one or several of the models. Students will present a one-year program of activities and learning opportunities for adolescents using the student-s chosen model and philosophy. Students will volunteer to work in a ministry that fits closely with the one(s) that they choose as a model. This course is normally offered in the spring semester.
