Congratulations Bridgette!

Our Minister of Children and Youth Bridgette Hodgkins graduated today with her Certificate in Youth Ministry Leadership from Yale Divinity School.

Bridgette earns this certificate after completing a rigorous nine-month, cohort-based program that brings together youth ministry practitioners from across the country for sustained study with leading scholars in the field. The program focuses on leadership theory in church organizations; theological and spiritual care for young people, with particular attention to adolescent mental health; and the work of empowerment, liberation, and justice with youth.

We are so proud of Bridgette, and we are so grateful for her excellent leadership of our church’s children and youth programs.
