Want to impact the lives of the young people in your church?
Or equip yourself further for ministry in this area?
Impact - Youth or Kids Ministry Training Program is a one year, short course 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.
Study Options
IMPACT can be included as a subject taken for academic credit (DM016 - Children's Ministry Field Education or DM017 - Youth Ministry Field Education) as part of a Diploma, Degree or Undergraduate / Graduate Certificate through Morling College, or can be taken as a stand-alone experience. If you are completing IMPACT for academic credit as part of your first theology or ministry course, we especially recommend the Undergraduate Certificate of Ministry or the Graduate Certificate of Divinity.
Who is this for?
Impact is ideal for youth or children’s pastors, student pastors, interns and key volunteers who serve in these aspects of church life. The course fee does not include attendance at the Connect Day, Leaders Retreat or BYM State Conference. These registrations are made directly with the Baptist Association of Churches.
Course Outcomes
This part-time, year-long program can be credited toward a unit in one of our Diploma, Degree or Undergraduate / Graduate Certificate courses if you wish to pursue further study at Morling. You do not need any prior experience or training to qualify for this course (other than the normal entry requirements for a Diploma, Degree or Undergraduate / Graduate Certificate, if that option is selected).
