Youth Ministry

Peter Ward
Youth Ministry MA
I teach on the Youth Ministry MA programme, which is one of eight master’s degrees in theology and ministry launched at King’s in 2008. Each of the programmes is specifically designed to help youth ministers, clergy, worship leaders and those working in NGO’s and charities to think theologically about their practice. Although the programmes are based in the Department of Education & Professional Studies, the teaching is shared with the Department of Theology & Religious Studies.



My academic research and writing has been energised and shaped by the questions that came out of my work as a Youth Minister. I am interested in how faith communicates in contemporary culture; in particular the questions concerning worship, new forms of church and ministry among young people. My latest project is based around theology and celebrity culture.
