Spaces still available in Certificate in Youth Ministry Studies classes

Spaces are still available for year 2 courses in the Center for Ministry Development’s Certificate in Youth Ministry Studies program, next week.

The Certificate in Youth Ministry Studies is a ministry education program for those in ministry with youth in both parish and school settings. It equips leaders with the knowledge, skills, practical tools and techniques needed for creative and comprehensive ministry with youth.

This program is designed for persons involved professionally or as volunteers with adolescents. The potential audience for the program includes: coordinators of youth ministry, directors of religious education, youth ministry volunteer leaders, junior high leaders, high school campus ministers, teachers, clergy, university students and seminarians.

This year the Archdiocese of Seattle is sponsoring the second year courses, which focus on fostering the faith growth of youth through evangelization and catechesis, prayer and worship, justice and service, and pastoral care.

The Certificate program is utilized in a number of ways:
  • as an integrated formation program leading to a Certificate in Youth Ministry Studies
  • as an enrichment or continuing education program for veteran leaders
  • as a workshop series which can be taken on a course-by-course basis by professional or volunteer leaders

The following classes still have spots available:

  • June 22-23: Pastoral Care
  • June 24-25: Evangelization and Catechesis
  • July 20-21: Justice and Service
  • July 22-23: Prayer and Worship
