Help the next generation know and serve Jesus

Is God calling you to serve Him through ministry with youth? Preparing for a youth ministry vocation at Huntington University will equip you with sound biblical strategies for ministry that will enable you to reach youth in church or parachurch environments. Whether your call is toward church-based ministry, camps, global, urban, or rural youth ministry, or programs for at-risk youth, our major in youth ministry will prepare you to engage with teenagers and lead them toward increasing maturity and faithfulness in their relationship with God.
