MDiv with a Youth and Family Ministries concentration

The Master of Divinity with a Youth and Family Ministries concentration equips leaders with the vision and training to penetrate today's adolescent world and to facilitate the spiritual nurturing necessary for a more diverse and fragmented family. Integrating the best of the church and parachurch programs and philosophies, students are equipped to "go into all the world" to reach a generation with the power and reality of the Christian faith.

At Denver Seminary, the youth and family ministry degrees fall under the Division of Christian Ministry. Watch a video from the Division of Christian Ministry.
