Young Life Leadership

"The greatest enemy of Christianity may be people who say they believe in Jesus but who are no longer astonished and amazed."

Mike Yaconelli, Youth Ministry Pioneer (1942-2003)

Why Young Life Leadership?

Students in the Young Life Leadership minor at Colorado Christian University take courses in discipleship, cross-cultural ministry, and ministry leadership. This specialized program offered in conjunction with Young Life was the first of its kind in the country. Many CCU students already participate in the Young Life ministry so they can take what they are learning in class and immediately apply it where they are serving. CCU faculty and members of the Young Life organization teach the courses.

Young Life Leadership in the Christian University

CCU's Young Life Leadership minor trains the next generation of Young Life leaders who will impact the upcoming generations. Curriculum for the program was customized to specifically meet the needs of the Young Life organization. The Denver metro area provides students with the opportunity to participate in and observe a wide variety of youth contexts and students have access to all kinds of ministry opportunities, from urban to rural.

Why CCU?
I chose to attend CCU because I wanted to learn more about the Bible so that I would then be able to share it with those who do not know Jesus.
