Youth workers invest many hours in the spiritual development of teenagers, and a solid understanding of theological concepts is essential to this effort. If you want to help youth understand and talk about their faith, this course is for you.
Through study and reflection of key concepts ranging from sin to redemption, learners will grow in their own understanding and ability to teach these topics in relevant and relatable ways. This course includes reading, video teaching, and interactive discussion with other course participants.
**There will be an optional opportunity to meet with classmates to discuss topics relevant to this course.
Students are required to have the following books for this class:
- Starting Right: Thinking Theologically About Youth Ministry, edited by Kenda Creasy Dean, Chap Clark, & Dave Rahn
- The Theological Turn In Youth Ministry, by Andrew Root and Kenda Creasy Dean
