BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
Youth/Social Ministry
Our Youth/Social Ministry Degree is for students who want to work on college and high school campuses, in teen agencies, in at-risk restorative centers, with group homes, at rescue missions, or with inner-city outreaches. We want to equip you to work holistically with adolescent youth and populations that are poor, hurting and hungry.
Why choose Next Gen Ministry studies at Crown?
VIDEO Dr. Ken Castor provides an overview of the major and its emphasis.
- Community-focused, Christ-centered, curriculum.
- Graduates are qualified to pursue additional academic degrees at the master’s level.
- Covers youth and social dynamics while simultaneously providing students with a deeper understanding of the Bible and a Christian worldview.
I have the opportunity to not just be in a caring community, but a community that fosters the same values and faith. There are so many different perspectives here from students and professors, and it creates so many opportunities to grow.
Being at Crown makes you want to stay at Crown for the rest of your life; but being at Crown also gets you excited for what God is preparing you to do after college, too.

Mentoring Opportunities
Learning in the classroom is one of the core ways that you can grow as a person. However, we believe classrooms can only go so far. That is why each student has the opportunity to connect with a faculty or staff member to talk about class, life, and Jesus. Because learning is more than just knowledge, it is experiencing life-changing relationships.
