Overview

The Youth and Family Ministry program of Midland University is an interdisciplinary program—with focused attention to religion, sociology, psychology, and communication—that emphasizes three sets of core skills and knowledge necessary for work in ministry: (1) understanding of and appreciation for who human beings are, how they learn and understand the world, (2) an understanding of and appreciation for how human beings relate to one another in groups and organizations, and (3) an understanding of and appreciation for the Christian tradition. In addition to inculcating skills and knowledge, our program firmly grounds students with real-world experience in a variety of ministry settings.

So Much to Learn, So Many Ways to Grow

Our Youth & Family Ministry program emphasizes the Christian tradition, both historically and in its contemporary forms, an understanding of how people learn and engage with the world, and an analysis of how people relate to each other. To help you develop these skills and abilities, we offer an interdisciplinary curriculum that emphasizes courses in religion, sociology, psychology, and communication.

After graduation from Midland’s Youth & Family Ministry program, you will be able to:

Identify core psychological and sociological concepts and apply them to ministry settings

Describe key approaches in biblical interpretation and use selected approaches to interpret biblical passages

Trace the history of core theological concepts in the Christian tradition and how these concepts relate to major world religions

Develop and critically evaluate curriculum or programs for use in ministry settings.
