Students will participate in classroom learning throughout the year that will cover three key areas of discipleship:

Character:

These classes will focus on understanding and practicing spiritual disciplines, and on teaching students the principles and values that characterized Jesus' life.

Passion:

These classes will not only deepen students’ understanding of the principles of love but also empower them to develop a missional mindset that impacts their spheres of influence.

Power:

These classes will focus on how students can walk in living spirit-filled victorious lives and equip students with the tools to navigate and address cultural issues with wisdom, truth, and grace.

There are four key aspects to fostering vibrant community within TYMS: (1) Every Tuesday night begins with sharing a meal and engaging in intentional conversations, (2) TYMS organizes regular community hangs for our students to build and foster community amongst themselves, (3) Students will have opportunity to go on local and international mission trips as well as participate in local ministry initiatives. (4) We provide opportunities for students to use their God-given gifts to minister to one another, take faith risks, and do life together.

At TYMS, we are deeply committed to nurturing the leadership potential within our youth. We aim to cultivate a generation of young leaders equipped with spiritual depth and practical skills. We don’t see our students as the leaders of tomorrow but instead, as the leaders of today. Our students actively engage in hands-on experiences, such as leading worship, teaching, outreach, and more. We believe in unlocking their full leadership potential by empowering our youth with responsibilities and fostering a culture of encouragement and accountability. Our aim is to prepare them for leadership roles within everyday ministry and send them out into the world as compassionate, competent, and Christ-centred leaders who will positively impact every sphere of life.

Our students' experience goes beyond the classroom, especially during dedicated ministry times where they encounter the transformative presence of the Holy Spirit. Most evenings at TYMS end with ministry time, where students are invited to encounter and experience the Holy Spirit, grow in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and gain practical insights on ministering to the Lord and others.

At TYMS, group mentorship fosters personal growth and community support. Our approach centres on small groups led by our TYMS leaders, who provide guidance, encouragement, and accountability for students. These groups meet every week for 45 minutes after class to discuss intentional topics for students' growth. Students explore various aspects of their faith, leadership development, and practical life skills through these discussions. These groups are designed to create a safe space for students to share experiences, ask questions, receive support and grow in deeper friendships.
