The 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 core 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.
