Hampton Communicating the gospel to youth is more than preaching a sermon to teenagers. Communicating the gospel is understanding that learning, change and growth occurs in small groups and large groups, through directive mediation and the spoken word. Effective communications requires that the leader knows their audience. Attention will be given to principles of youth education, learning and teaching style and faith development. You will learn to develop and present: small group studies, sermons and talks, thematic teaching, curriculum for retreats. This course will help you develop the skills and the tools necessary to let the Bible come alive when teaching and communicating with youth
