Christian Education, M.A.: Youth Ministries Emphasis

Today's youth ministers meet teenagers from more diverse backgrounds than ever before. Consequently, a new breed of youth ministers is emerging. The 21st century youth minister must be rooted in scriptural principles and able to meet the complexity of challenges facing youth in today's culture (suicide, teen pregnancy, crime, drugs, etc.). Youth workers today must become active liaisons 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.
