B.R. Lakin Building, RM 127, campus ext. A study of biblical principles in establishing and maintaining a ministry to adolescents.
Emphasis is placed upon a system of philosophy and general principles for adolescent ministry.
Special attention is given to developing a youth ministry mission statement, objectives, and strategy. The philosophy of youth work at L.U. is different than any other school and a semester of introduction to these concepts is essential to a completion of the major. Without an analysis of the past and an understanding of ministry principles, the student goes into the future inadequately prepared, making the same mistakes and being no further ahead. Comprehend the philosophical model for church youth ministry as taught in this course. This objective will be measured by obtaining a passing grade on an exam.
