Description
The contextual learning component of the Children, Youth, and Family ministry degree is fulfilled by participating in a ministry site during one's time as a student. In addition to one-on-one conversations, cohort learning, and reflective work within classes, contextual education gives students the opportunity to participate in a leadership role in a specific ministry context while refining one's vocational call and discovering what it means to engage theology and mission in a particular locale. Master of arts Children, Youth and Family ministry students participate in CYF contextual education during their entire course of study. Master of divinity students focusing in the area of Children, Youth and Family ministry participate in CYF contextual education alongside completing their first 20 credits. Two semesters required.
