Certification School Requirements and Leaning Outcomes


 

Youth and family ministry requires new and innovative approaches. The Certification School is a 15-day intensive course in Youth and Family Ministry for adult leaders, volunteers, clergy, parents, youth and seminary students in relating and forming Christ's ministry with youth.

This course provides solid theological education with cutting-edge ministry basics. Participants learn about faith development, contemporary youth culture, strategic planning for congregational ministries, and valuable network building for ongoing ministry support and learning.

Certification School costs $2500.

  2. Theological grounding – “I have a grounded plan for my faith and theology.”
  3. Youth & Family Confidence – “I now know why I do what I do!”
  4. Networking – “When I have a question I know who to turn to!”
  5. New and Fresh Direction – “It expanded my box. I see new things and it opened myself to a new life in ministry.”
  6. Longevity – “If it hadn’t been for my Cert school participation 15 years ago, I probably wouldn’t still be here today.”
  7. Spiritual Development – “I am also growing again spiritually.”
  8. Outreach and Evangelism –“I am learning the best ways to reach youth and my whole congregation.”
  9. Revitalization – “I’ve got a heart for ministry, but my methods needed more punch, more edge, more passion. Cert school is giving me the resources I need to succeed and more.”
  10. Professional – “I found that Certification School is universally recognized by churches. Certification in Youth and Family Ministry by The Youth & Family Institute and Wartburg Theological Seminary is one of the most valuable parts of a resume for pursuing a career in youth and family ministry.”
