The college is set in 60 acres of parkland and is within easy reach of central London and the countryside of Hertfordshire and Essex. Our excellent location means that we are able to draw on a wide range of different churches, representing different traditions, for our student placement scheme.
What place should children and young people have in the life of the church? How do we reach, disciple children and young people and include them amongst God’s people? This module moves from understanding to engagement. Students will evaluate various historical and contemporary models for such ministry and reflect upon their own ‘inherited’ patterns of practice with a view to gaining practical, biblical and theological strategies for engaging effectively with children, youth and families in church, school and community contexts.
This module will begin to generously listen to other models of ministry to learn how they can critique, inform and improve our work with young people, children and families.
At Oak Hill, we are committed to training people for youth and children’s ministry, as well as other spheres of ministry. Our undergraduate qualifications in Theology, Ministry and Mission contain options specific to training for youth and children’s ministry.
