We believe a strong foundation in God’s Word is essential for every Christian leader. At TYMS, students engage in dynamic, Spirit-filled teaching that helps them understand the big story of Scripture and its relevance to everyday life. We explore key theological themes, wrestle with real questions, and train students to think critically and biblically about culture and calling. Our goal is not just to fill minds with information, but to ignite hearts with revelation. Students leave with a love for God’s Word, a solid theological framework, and the confidence to teach and live out the truth with clarity and conviction.

Ministry at TYMS goes far beyond theory—it’s a lived experience. Our students are regularly immersed in environments where they can encounter the transformative presence of God and grow in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Most evenings include powerful ministry times that provide space for students to listen to God’s voice, respond to His leading, and actively minister to others.

At the core of everything we do at TYMS is the desire to see students shaped into the image of Christ. Spiritual formation is not just a subject—it’s a lifestyle. We guide students into rhythms of prayer, worship, reflection, and spiritual disciplines that ground them in God’s love and truth. Through both personal and communal practices, students learn to cultivate a life of intimacy with Jesus, grow in emotional and spiritual maturity, and develop a resilient faith. We are committed to forming leaders whose inner lives are rooted in God’s presence and whose leadership flows from a place of deep connection with Him.

At TYMS, we believe young people don’t need to wait to lead—they’re already leaders today. Our program is designed to draw out the God-given leadership potential in every student by equipping them with both spiritual depth and practical skills. Through opportunities to lead worship, teach, plan events, and engage in outreach, students are trusted with real responsibility and given the tools to grow. We foster a culture of high support and high challenge—where encouragement, accountability, and calling go hand in hand. Our goal is to raise up leaders who are Christ-centered, courageous, and capable of making an impact in every area of life and ministry.

Community is the heartbeat of TYMS. We intentionally create space for students to build deep, authentic relationships with one another as they journey through leadership and faith together. From weekly shared meals and intentional conversations to community hangs, mission trips, and ministry outings, every part of the TYMS experience is designed to cultivate connection. We believe in doing life together—celebrating, serving, and taking faith risks in a safe, Spirit-led environment. Students are encouraged to use their unique gifts to build one another up, creating a culture of unity, joy, and mutual empowerment.
