Youth Ministry - Bachelor of Religious Education

Overview

Overview

The Bachelor of Religious Education (BRE) is a three-year professional degree designed to prepare students for ministry in churches, parachurch organizations, or missions. This is an excellent degree for those already in ministry or for those planning to become involved in ministry.

The BRE in General Ministries is intended to be a terminal degree for those who do not plan to pursue seminary studies. The recommended program for those intending to proceed to seminary after their undergraduate studies is the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Religious Studies or in any of the humanities or social sciences offered at Tyndale (i.e., English, History, Philosophy, or Psychology).

The Youth Ministry focus offers students foundational courses in preparation for ministry in a variety of settings, including church and parachurch-based youth ministry. In addition to the required core subjects and in consultation with his or her faculty advisor, students may choose from a variety of youth-based electives.
