Get Equipped for Youth Ministry
Use your Life to Make a Difference. Grow in Your Faith. Get Practical Experience.
Enroll in ICY-UK, and you will be placed in a stretching environment that will help you to grow in your relationship with God and in your ability to impact the world around you for eternity.
You will be supported by a mentor in a weekly cluster with other training youth workers from around the world as you serve in a pioneering or existing youth ministry. While ministering, you can learn from youth specialists while studying on the highly practical missional leaders track or embark on our 3-year Bachelor’s in Theology which is validated by Middlesex University.
For Emerging Leaders
ICY-UK provides training, experience and a qualification for growing leaders who want to prepare for youth ministry. We dream of seeing a movement of God amongst young people in the UK and are looking for emerging leaders to join with us. We have a specific heart to reach young people who are distant from God and the church.
Options That Fit You
We know one size doesn’t fit all.
- You can stay in your own church and start training with us.
- We can help you find a church or ministry.
- The Missional Leaders track allows you to learn about God, your Bible and effective youth ministry from leaders who are currently ministering to young people–without the pressure of essays and grades.
- The 3-year Bachelors in Theology track allows you to learn all the above and leave with a professional qualification.
Whatever track you choose, you will never be the same! Annie’s story» Jon’s story»
Credible
ICY-UK have been in existence since 2005, raising and releasing emerging leaders to expand the Kingdom of God. Leaders, teachers and mentors are all currently serving in ministry so what they talk about is real, informed and up to date.
Our partnership with Springdale College: Together in Mission allows us to offer a validated BTh Hons Mission through Middlesex University.
Cross-Cultural Experience
Whether you are from the UK or abroad, cross-cultural ministry will be a key part of your experience. During the first year of the Missional Leader track or the second year of the BTh, you will join with other teammates for mission outside of the UK.
Faith Forming
You will grow in your passion for God. Whilst you will gain practical experience and learn valuable skills, ICY-UK is much more than a learning institution. This is a journey that cannot be travelled without God. Your heart will be stretched as you hear from dynamic speakers, dig deeper into your Bible and cling to God as you work to see lives transformed. From conferences to your supporting cluster groups to ministry in your placement, growing in your relationship with God is at the core of everything we do.
Adventure, Friends & Fun
Let us launch you into the adventure of youth ministry. We will help you negotiate the challenges of ministry and in the process you will make new friends who are doing the journey with you, you will see new parts of the world and you will have lots of fun!
