The Centre for Youth Ministry originated as a consortium of Christian agencies, which came together to create and provide training, undertake research and generate publications to provide resources for Christian work and ministry in the churches and in the wider community. CYM is committed to accessibility, flexibility and quality in course delivery and provides excellence, professionalism and integrity in Christian Children, Family, School & Youth work. CYM believes that Christian Children & Youth Ministry should incorporate good practice from professional education, training and work and believes in the value of distinctively Christian approaches to work with young people.
The course is delivered at five centres across England and Northern Ireland, each with its own distinct flavour. Here at Ridley we endeavour to provide a supportive environment within which students can achieve academically, develop professionally and grow spiritually.
In addition to the Undergraduate Degrees, CYM offers Postgraduate degrees in Youth & Community Work and Practical Theology (JNC endorsed), and Reflective Practice and Practical Theology. There is also the opportunity to complete a two-year full-time Diploma in Youth and Community Work and Applied Theology or a Degree in Youth Studies. For those looking for part-time study opportunities, CYM delivers the Engage course, which leads to a National Certificate in Christian Youth Work. Alternatively, those who are interested in registering for individual modules can opt to become Associate Members.
