Today's youth ministers meet teenagers from more diverse backgrounds than ever before. Consequently, a new breed of youth minister is emerging. Youth workers must become active liasons between schools, nonprofit government agencies, law enforcement agencies, and the community. Today's youth ministers must understand the crucial function of role modeling and effectively establish mentoring programs in a wide array of settings and circumstances. The Degree Program The M.A.C.E. with an emphasis in Youth Ministry Program offers those with a passion for the spiritual growth of today's youth the opportunity to earn a master's degree in only three years.
Classes meet one night per week with summers off.
The cohort model of teaching brings together 20 adult learners for the duration of the program who study, learn, and experience the dynamic interplay of spiritual formation and educational preparation. Such an experience also fosters deep and supportive friendships that span cultural, age, and gender differences and last far beyond graduation. When and Where the Program Is Offered New cohorts will form at either the Azusa or San Diego campuses based on demand. To contact us or for more information, please consult our contact directory page.
