Principles in Child and Youth Ministries

Do you have a heart for young people?  Transform your relationship with God, and impact the nations.  Join us in our vision to reach the next generations…

Principles in Child and Youth Ministries (PCYM) is a foundational school designed to equip you to understand God’s passionate heart for young people and families, and to explore biblical ways to work with and minister to them effectively.

Formal and informal input and interactive learning will be led by significant youth and children’s workers from around the world.

As well as classroom-based learning and project work, there will be opportunities to be practically involved in a whole range of local youth and children’s initiatives, e.g. schools work, cell groups for young people, and outreaches, celebrative events and camps.

Above all, the PCYM is about personal growth and character development.

There is a 12-week lecture phase and the opportunity to be involved with an outreach with King’s Kids England.  Recently King’s Kids has served in the UK, Egypt, China, Bosnia, Spain and South Africa

Topics in the modules include:
- Spiritual capacity of young people
- Destiny of the emerging generations
- Understanding youth culture
- Youth and children’s cells
- Understanding child and human development
- Leadership and teamwork
- Programme development
- The pre-teen strategy
- Foundational values of King’s Kids International  (KKi)
- Biblical Christian worldview
- Children at risk
- Child Protection and good practice
- Reaching the unreached
- Inter-generational models of ministry
- Mission, discipleship and young people
- Role of family in ministry

Our desire is to release and equip you to raise a new generation to follow Jesus radically.
