Family Ministry

Youth Minister's Conference January 30 - January 31, 2025

About

Harding's Family Ministry exists to make connections. We connect churches with students interested in serving families in a congregational setting.

Many churches all over the U.S. seek to hire Harding students and graduates to serve as summer interns and full-time ministers to adolescents, children, college students, and more.

The Center for Family Ministries facilitates this connection by hosting church visits, coordinating intern fairs and taking students to the National Conference on Youth Ministry.
