TRAINING OVERVIEW

Here at SWYM we have a passion for reaching the young people of the South West with the good news of Jesus and seeing them transformed into the fullness of Christ. All the training we offer seeks to serve this vision; we want to equip people who are passionate about taking the message of Jesus into this generation with the skills and inspiration they need to do this as effectively as possible.

We see all our training as fulfilling three essential criteria: head, heart and hands. We want those who train with us to have an excellent understanding of the theoretical side of youth ministry and Christian Theology, have all the practical tools they need to reach out to young people and also to be discipled and grow in their faith and experience of God. By involving mission, placement-based practical youth work, personal development, formal lectures, workshops, retreats, worship and exploration of what all these things mean to the modern youth leader, the entire programme will help release and equip you into your true calling.

We provide varying levels of certification with all courses beginning with our foundation year in youth ministry with Engage (NVQ Level 3). Some courses will give you a formal qualification for your ministry, or can give training credits transferable to other educational establishments.
