2 Mission & Impact Statements Mission The Center for Youth Ministry Training equips youth ministers and churches to develop theologically informed and practically effective youth ministries. Background The Center for Youth Ministry Training (CYMT) was founded in 2006 by Brentwood United Methodist Church and First Presbyterian Church, Nashville. Graduate residents in our program gain experience in a three-year supervised practicum as a youth director in a local church while earning a Master of Arts in Youth Ministry through our partnership with Memphis Theological Seminary. Acceptance to the residency program is competitive and limited. The Graduate Residency in Youth Ministry is unique to the Center for Youth Ministry Training. The residency program creates a whole-person learning environment by nurturing residents academically in the classroom, vocationally in the local church and through personal coaching, as well as emotionally and socially through peer interaction in a cohort of fellow graduate residents. The CYMT graduate residency in Youth Ministry includes an all-inclusive scholarship covering tuition, books, and retreat costs; 48 credit hour Master of Arts in Youth Ministry degree earned over the three-year program; a job serving as a youth director in a local church; $1,000 per month stipend; housing and utilities provided. Impact 1) Celebrated 10 years of ministry! 2) Launched second campus in Austin, Texas in partnership with Bethany United Methodist Church and Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. 3) Completed a $240,000 grant from the Lilly Foundation to fund the Theology Together program, educating youth workers in tandem with the teenagers they minister to through theological dialogue, vocational discernment, and reflective action. 4) Thirteen CYMT graduate residents receiving their Masters of Arts in Youth Ministry. 5) Welcomed 20 graduate residents, the largest incoming class in CYMT history. Needs 1) Raise $200,000 in annual funds to empower CYMT to fulfill its mission. 2) Expand recruitment of graduate residents to meet demand of partner churches. 3) Expand marketing efforts in Texas to create brand awareness and recruit both partner churches and graduate residents. Other ways to donate, support, or volunteer Donate online at or mail checks made out to CYMT to 309 Franklin Road, Brentwood, TN CYMT also welcomes stock donations or airline mileage point transfers.

Graduate residents are recruited from around the world. Board Chair Statement In recent years, the groundswell of concern in mainline denominations about youth ministry has become impossible to ignore. A quick survey of the landscape of youth ministry in mainline churches across the country reveals one disappointingly consistent fact: youth ministry in the mainline church is undeniably in trouble. The need for well-equipped, called, and theologically informed professional youth ministers to lead the next generation is obvious. The mainline church is in need of a new pedagogy for youth ministry that can create practical theologians who can lead the next generation of youth into the future. Only a small percentage of professional youth ministers ever attend a theological institution. Youth ministry as a discipline is still very young and therefore receives little attention from the institutional leaders. We see this in the local church, within denominations, and in our institutions of higher education. Seminaries and liberal arts colleges are struggling to support their already existing programs and do not have the financial bandwidth to support new programs that they are not convinced will generate large numbers of students or revenue. As a result, mainline denominations, chronically frustrated with their youth ministries and those hired to lead them, often find themselves overwhelmed by expectations their youth ministers seem ill-equipped to handle. Therefore, the Center for Youth Ministry Training seeks to make an investment in effective youth ministry education and training to create a fertile training ground for well-equipped, effective leadership for the larger church. This investment in theologically informed, effectively mentored youth workers will pay dividends to the church as these leaders call out the next generation of church leaders from the ranks of today s and tomorrow s youth. CEO Statement Every year CYMT equips youth ministers and partner churches to develop theologically informed and practically effective youth ministries. These ministries touch the lives of thousands of teenagers and their families each year. What CYMT does is not magic; instead we faithfully walk with young youth ministers to help them develop their gifts and skills and to help them navigate their first few years in the church. Additionally, we help church leadership develop structures of support for healthy youth ministry. We invite you to invest in this Kingdom ministry. 3
