Fake News! This slogan has decimated our confidence in anything we hear or read, no longer knowing if it’s true or trustworthy. Nowadays you have to conduct further research to determine if what you’re hearing seems true.
Our degree (BA (Hons) in Theology, Mission and Ministry with specialism in Youth Work) is delivered in partnership with Moorlands College and is accredited by the University of Gloucestershire. They give approval to the teaching content, class facilitators and level of difficulty, also ensuring that it meets the correct standards of training, like any other university course. They determine the balance between theology, history, and youth ministry.
Reign Ministries has worked hard with its partners to offer a degree that is not only accessible and understandable, with practical and applicable implications for real world situations, but also robust and theologically sound.
We offer two courses; a BA (Hons) in Applied Theology, and a BA (Hons) in Applied Theology Youth and Community Work with JNC. Every student will be taught Biblical Studies and Christian Foundations, but they will also take practical modules that push them to explore mission, leadership, and discipleship. You can find out more details on our degree page, or on Moorlands College’s website.
Some assessments will require students to look at what they’re studying and identify how it relates to the context they are working within. Others will ask them to reflect critically upon specific books and what established authors have written.
Students are placed with Placement Supervisors within one of our hubs across the UK. They are given tools and models that can be directly applied to their work-based learning environments. Students will be required to personally reflect upon their personal beliefs about God, and how that affects their ministry and the world around them.
Holistic growth of the student is at the heart of Reign Ministries. Our desire is that by the time students have completed their three years* they will have grown in all areas of their life; personally, intellectually, missionally and spiritually. We mix head knowledge with heart knowledge, ensuring students graduate with a greater passion for Jesus and young people than when they started. The best youth leaders are not always going to be the smartest or always have the best strategies. Instead, they will be passionate disciples of Jesus, keen to share their faith with those a bit earlier on the journey than themselves.
*Four years if student chooses to enrol on the initial Foundation Year.
The accreditation of the degree by a university, the passion and experience brought by our facilitators, and the strong sense of family and community that forms within the student body gives us confidence to share opportunities for people to study with Reign Ministries.
Our desire is that by the time students have completed their three years with us they will have grown in all areas of their life; personally, intellectually, missionally and spiritually.
Do you know someone who is looking at going to university? Someone who has a passion for working alongside young people? Maybe they had never considered doing a degree, but their passion for working with young people is obvious to you? Maybe you’re interested in having a student help grow the youth ministry within your church setting? Know that you can recommend our degree with confidence!

Where Is God Calling Me? I have a calling to youth ministry. But 30 years ago – I had no idea! I remember sitting in a marquee at a Christian music festival as a teenager, listening to a speaker talking about ‘Hearing God’s Call’. This was something I was wrestling with, so I figured that […]

Learning from those that have gone before you. “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” writes the wise King Solomon in Ecclesiastes. He saw that life can sometimes resemble a treadmill, where history simply repeats itself and continues in a loop. […]

After a few years of considering this move, the trustees and leadership have decided the time is right to try and sell the building we affectionately know as “the moto” (in it’s former life it was a motorcycle sales and repair shop). This building has served the charity well over many years, as a base […]
