IMPACT—Youth/Kids Ministry Training Program is a one year, short program designed to help equip you for ministry with children or teenagers, by exploring different approaches to ministry, Australian culture, healthy personal practices and effective programming. You will also get connected with practitioners from across NSW and ACT.
IMPACT builds on your involvement with your local church, by helping to build good theory upon which to develop your approach, through engaging with guided readings, and a network of practitioners you can learn from.
IMPACT—Youth/Kids Ministry can be completed in conjunction with a subject taken for academic credit (DE016 - Children's Ministry Field Education or DE017 - Youth Ministry Field Education) and included as part of an Australian College of Theology, Diploma, Degree, or Undergraduate/Graduate Certificate through Morling College. It can also be completed as a stand-alone experience.
If you are completing IMPACT in conjunction with DE016 or DE017 as part of your first theology or ministry course, we especially recommend the Undergraduate Certificate of Ministry or the Graduate Certificate of Divinity.
Impact is ideal for youth or children’s pastors, student pastors, interns and key volunteers who serve in these aspects of church life.
For students wanting to enrol in DE016 or DE017 for academic credit towards an ACT Diploma, Degree, or Undergraduate/Graduate Certificate, the cost is the standard per-unit fee for a single subject at Morling.
For students wanting to complete IMPACT as a stand-alone experience (not for academic credit), the course cost is $320 per person. (Students who choose this option should be aware that this cannot later be credited towards an ACT award.)
