The Youth Board of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, in partnership with Union Theological College, Belfast, is offering an exciting course in Youth Ministry for anyone involved in church based youth work. The "Certificate in Youth Ministry" commences on September 26th and continues for a 12 week period, requiring a weekly commitment of just two hours from the participants.
This will be the second year of the course, which in it's first year was heavily over - subscribed. Consequently, double the number of places are available with this year's course being offered in two locations - one at University of Ulster, Coleraine, alongside the same course being taught simultaneously at Union College, Belfast.
The subjects covered over the 12 week duration of the course reflect the wide variety of issues youth workers and leaders can expect to confront. These include the 'Biblical basis for youth ministry', 'How young people learn', 'Understanding their culture', and 'The Spiritual health of the youth leader.' All lectures will be delivered by experienced youth leaders and ministers involved with the Presbyterian Church in Ireland.
Each course is limited to 30 people and with demand high, anyone wishing to undertake the Certificate in Youth Ministry should contact the Youth Office, Church House, Belfast, by 22nd September. Places are on a first come first serve basis and the course cost is £60 which can be paid in two installments. Organisers of the course are keen to stress that it is open to all and that there is no academic entrance requirement.
