The Ministry Leadership Center equips faith leaders and communities for transformational ministry through theological training, practical resources, and ongoing support. Our commitment is to walk alongside leaders as they cultivate ministries that embody God's love, forming leaders and faith communities that are faithful, adaptive, and grounded in hope for generations to come.
Our educational offerings meet leaders wherever they are in their vocational journey. The MA in Youth Ministry Graduate Residency is a debt-free master's program that pairs seminary-level theological education with one-on-one coaching, on-the-job ministry experience, and a supportive cohort of peers. Past students have received placements in local church, non-profit, camp, and college ministry settings. This is perfect for camp professionals looking to advance their theological education, or for those discerning a call to ministry in camp settings and beyond.
For those who are looking for non-degree training, our Certificate in Youth and Children's Ministry offers that same blend of theological depth, professional coaching, and hands-on practice within a close community of fellow leaders.
Beyond the classroom, our Holy Disruptions youth ministry curriculum engages young people's questions and ideas without settling for easy answers-- and a new retreat curriculum offering is under development, with expected release in 2027!
Whether you are looking for tools and resources to help as you walk alongside summer staff, opportunities for additional training, or ways to partner with congregations in your region, we would love to explore what we might build together. Come visit our booth in the exhibit hall!
