Youth Ministry in a New World
Ministry to young people doesn’t need to be a solo journey — the tremendous rewards and complex challenges do not need to be encountered alone.

A cohort experience like no other- grown from a long and successful relationship between ACOM and Youth Vision
You’re invited to be a part of an Online Learning Cohort of like-minded youth leaders with two of Australia’s leading thinkers in Youth Ministry and Faith Formation.
Together we will develop, clarify and sharpen our approach by exploring some of the big ideas influencing the theology and practice of youth ministry today. But more than exploring these ideas, we will tease out the practical implications for your own unique context so you can map out a clear strategy and take your ministry to the next level.
Beginning in May and finishing in November 2021 we will meet regularly (online and face-to-face) for the purposes of developing our practice as youth ministers in a highly relational and supportive community of peers.
Your learning and formation will be supported by an accredited training program designed for youth ministers with input from experienced practitioners and thought leaders. Accreditation is provided by ACOM (Australian College of Ministry) and the program contributes two units towards a Diploma or Bachelor award.
This is a fantastic opportunity to learn and grow alongside your involvement in ministry with likeminded peers facing similar joys and challenges to you.
You can participate in the program for Higher Education credit (FeeHelp available to eligible students) or as a non-accredited participant for $200 per unit.
