B.Th. Youth Ministry

Overview

The Youth Ministry program offers students flexibility in their training to become holistically equipped for youth ministry. Available in partnership with The YWC Coalition for Youth Ministry Leadership or through studies from another educational institution that fulfill MCS’s degree requirements.

The YWC Coalition option combines 16 months of studies at MCS with the 2-year YWC Coalition for Youth Ministry Leadership Program.

The other option combines 24 months of MCS’s Pastoral Leadership program (includes 4-month internship) with a 1-year Youth Care Worker’s Certificate from an approved secondary institution (for example, studying with Seneca College or Centennial College). Students graduate with both a B.Th. from MCS and a Certificate from elsewhere, opening the doors to either professional ministry or service in the public sector.

Options include:

Youth program

Duration: 16 or 24 months with MCS*

+ Youth Coalition Program Completion OR Youth Care Workers Certificate

*Month duration is estimated on average full-time completion rates of 10 courses per 8-month period. Actual completion rates vary based on individual student course loads.

Please note: +Plus programs are not available to international students. Applicants must have citizenship or permanent residency.

This MCS+Plus degree program is available through partnership with another educational institution that fulfills MCS’s degree requirements (for example, Seneca College, Centennial College, or Mohawk College). Ask us how.

Acceptance into an MCS+Plus degree program does not guarantee acceptance into another institution’s program.

MCS+Plus requirements must be met within 5 years of the completion of the MCS portion of studies.
