Three Columbia International University alumni, who specialize in youth ministry, recently tackled some weighty topics in two separate publications.
Trevor Miller, a 2005 graduate of the Youth Ministries program addressed consumerism and how it affects youth. Robbie Pruitt, who graduated in 2003 with a major in Bible and a minor in Youth Ministries, writes about the connection between leadership and humility. Andrew Hedges, who graduated with a Master of Divinity degree from CIU Seminary & School of Ministry in 2010, has authored a book on the Trinity.
Miller is director of student ministries at Mt. Horeb United Methodist Church in Lexington, S.C. Read his article “Stirring It Up: Confronting Consumerism: Waking from the American Dream” published in “Youth Worker Journal” at:
