PURPOSEThe MA in Youth Ministry is part of a new modular degree
programme at King's (co-taught with the Department of Theology
& Religious Studies http://www.kcl.ac.uk/trs ). It seeks to
provide intellectual frameworks and practical insights for
Christian mission and ministry. These new programmes offer
unrivalled diversity of course content and teaching expertise.
Designed in a unique collaboration between theologians and
ministers, they combine intellectual depth with a wide range of
practical issues - from contemporary worship to Fair Trade. They
will challenge, inspire and refresh anyone engaged in Christian
ministry, from ministers and ordinands, to laity and members of
faith-based organisations.
DESCRIPTIONThe MA in Youth Ministry is delivered in collaboration
with the Department of Theology & Religious Studies and the
Centre for Theology, Religion. The subject-specific module for the
MA in Youth Ministry is Patterns in Youth Ministry.
The MA in Youth Ministry connects cutting-edge academic research
with contemporary issues of Christian life and ministry. There are
theological MAs available in other universities, and there are
vocational courses in seminaries and training colleges, but this
programme presents a significant alternative. It will do justice to
the complexity of academic debates but it will always relate them
to the practical and the present. Drawing on the expertise of the
Department of Theology & Religious Studies and the Department
of Education & Professional Studies, this programme exemplifies
the strengths of King's as both a leading research university and a
centre for professional training. It promises a level of
interdisciplinary excitement and pastoral engagement that would be
hard to match elsewhere.
The MA in Youth Ministry is designed to help those working in
Church-related youth work to reflect critically and theologically
on their ministerial practice.
Students take the compulsory module, Patterns in Youth Ministry.
The module aims to explore developments in contemporary Christian
youth work and relate these to changes in society and culture. It
enables students to explore different patterns of youth ministry
within the context of wider social and cultural change.
Students take one other compulsory module, which is Theology in
Practice. This module links all the programmes on the King's
Theology & Ministry MA programme. It aims to equip students
with theological tools that will help them to analyse the styles
and the purposes of Christian ministry. With these tools (including
disciplines of social science with their empirical research
methodologies, historical enquiry, and scriptural interpretation)
students will be in a position to articulate a theology of
ministry, and to formulate methodologies for understanding and
interpreting their contexts and their actions as ministers.
In addition to the dissertation, students will then take two
further modules from the following:
- Ministry and the Bible;
- Church, Mission & Society;
- Contemporary Ministry and Apologetics;
- Educational Issues in Christian Ministry;
- Pastoral Use of the Bible;
- Patterns in Contemporary Ecclesiology;
- Patterns in Contemporary Worship;
- Theology, Church & Worship;
- Theology, Politics & Faith-Based Organisations.
