Laurea in Teologia (Ministero Giovanile)

The Youth Ministry program prepares men and women to understand and relate to youth culture, love teens, lead them to Jesus, and equip them for ministry. Students in the Youth Ministry major are trained to lead church-based youth groups, campus clubs, city-wide events, small groups, camps, retreats, local outreach projects, and overseas missions trips.

A crucial element of training is a carefully integrated program of weekly ministry in the church, campus, or community, and a 400-hour internship. Our goal is to produce competent, confident, capable, and compassionate youth pastors and youth workers for the church and other agencies in Canada and around the world.

Diligent in studying and integrating the Word of God.

Equipped to exercise their ministry gifts and abilities.

Prepared to minister within the culture, according to Scripture.

Creatively influencing their world for Christ.

Empowered to minister in the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
