BAM/YO - Bachelor of Arts in Ministry in Youth Ministry
Match your interests and gifts to the major that best suits you through Prairie’s Bachelor of Arts in Ministry (BAM) (majors available include camping ministry, outdoor education & leadership, pastoral ministry, sports management, teaching, youth or our unique multidisciplinary which allows you to chose two areas of focus). Whichever you choose, our BAM program is designed to build your confidence to minister in any environment; providing you with an in-depth knowledge of the Bible and practical leadership skills to equip others for ministry. You may take this degree entirely on our campus or through an Extended Experiential Learning Option off campus with the inclusion of a one-year internship. The Youth Program is: • For those who would like to develop youth skills for a vocational church, para-church or community ministry. • Excellently suited for the second career person. • For persons who are already in youth ministry who would like formal education. It is possible to receive internship credit for past experiences that qualify. • For people who would like to work with youth (e.g. teaching, counseling) and would like to have a theological and biblical foundation previous to secular vocational training. Program Objectives Prairie’s BAM program will equip you to: • Effectively study, understand and interpret Scripture. • Understand the principles for effective ministry in a variety of applications and situations. • Realize the global mission of the Church and its implications for your life. • Understand the importance of interpersonal relationships in the context of effective ministry. • Confidently apply practical skills as required in ministry settings • Realize and develop your God-given gifts and passions for use in ministry to the glory of God and the benefit of others. Expanded Opportunities Your BAM degree will open doors to skilled service as a church worker, church planter, church educational program leader, worship leader, pastor, youth worker, camp leader, or numerous other roles within a church or para-ministry setting. Your degree lays the foundation for graduate studies in ministry, theological studies, missiology or divinity.
