About CYM

At CYM, we have a long-term legacy built with churches, partner organisations, and charities that work across all areas of society. This precious legacy, however, is down to our students and alumni, who have trained with us to become the best specialists they can be in the field of Christian mission and ministry in the UK and worldwide. 

Our goal is to provide the best education and training from experienced professionals, along with research-informed theory and practice. We develop our learners capacity, credibility, and creativity in Christian ministry and mission with children and young people and train them to the highest standards. 

As they serve partner organisations across different communities, CYM learners gain valuable experience which shape their future ministry. They are practically equipped and professionally qualified for a lifelong meaningful, successful career in children's and youth ministry.

CYM is a worldwide spiritual family, and we welcome students from all backgrounds and traditions. CYM learn from one another and grow in unexpected ways, ready to go and do transformational work in the lives of children, young people, families and local communities.

The CYM community doesn't end when you progress from one of our courses either - the CYM family is a worldwide supportive network of professionals in children's and young people's ministry for life.
