Youth
Ministries
“If I could relive my life, I would devote my entire ministry to reaching children for God.” ― Dwight L. Moody

Youth Ministries majors will prepare to fill this need by taking one major or two minor proficiencies in addition to their specific youth ministry courses. Those who choose music as a major emphasis must pass music minor platform evaluations in their primary proficiency.
