Overview
The Master of Theological Studies in Youth Ministry program at Brewer Christian College will provide you with the tools needed to build a Christ centered program at your church, para-church or youth agency. With real life youth ministry professionals as mentors, our program will work with your local church or ministry to help you become the "equipped" minister that God has called you to be.

• Firm Biblical Foundation- Our youth ministry curriculum is anchored in the Word of God. Using the model of Jesus himself as the Master Youth Minister, our program strives to find His design for every aspect of working with adolescence.
• Cultural Relevance- What are the needs of today's young people? If you haven't noticed it's pretty rough to be a teenager right know. Schools have become war-zones. Teen pregnancy is on the rise. Drugs are back in fashion. Yet a revival among our teens in more evident then ever in recent history.
• Theoretically Sound- Historically, one of the major weaknesses of the church's ministry to youth has been the disinterest in the insights to be gained from research in the areas of adolescent psychology, educational theory, sociology, communication and the processes of cognitive and moral development. At Brewer Christian College we are committed to making this information an integral part of your studies.
• Personal Renewal- At Brewer Christian College we are convinced that the greatest training for ministry is born from personal spiritual renewal and revival. The greatest side effect of studying youth ministry at Brewer is that you may find yourself falling in love with Jesus all over again.
