PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This program combines the objectives of the four-year (128 credit) B.A. in Pastoral Leadership degree with a major in Youth Ministry, building on the two-year Youth Ministry Institute (YMI) program. The first two years combines progressive studies in youth culture and ministry with hands-on internship opportunities. The next two years strengthen the student's character, broaden the biblical foundation of their lives, and prepare them for higher levels of pastoral leadership. This degree meets the academic qualifications for a youth pastor and licensing in most evangelical church organizations.
