The CYMT has created an early acceptance process that will begin this fall. Students wishing to be considered for early acceptance to the program must have completed the application process by November 30 including all references, forms, and fees. Students interviews will take place December 7-18. Students will be informed if they have been accepted, deferred to the Spring deadline, or not accepted by January 6.
I continue to be amazed at God’s work in and through the Center for Youth Ministry Training. We will welcome 15 new students this fall, our largest incoming class! We will be working with 23 students and churches this fall. Our new partnership with Memphis Theological Seminary continues to strengthen the academic credit of our program that has attracted this new class. Again, our students are coming from all over the country and will be serving churches in the Middle and West Tennessee areas. I hope you will keep this newsletter and pray for them and their churches often.
Tell us about your experience with CYMT thus far. While I have felt called to youth ministry for a few years, I quickly realized that there were a lot of skills that I needed to learn before I would be effective in that position. CYMT has helped me develop many of these skills, as well as providing an invaluable community of peers who offer friendship, fellowship, and the knowledge that ministry is not something any of us does alone.
