DEPTH Youth Program (Discover, Explore, Partner where Transformation Happens!) is a program of Chicago Theological Seminary (CTS), in partnership with Elmhurst College (EC), funded by a grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc.

A staff of Faculty and Students from CTS and EC run DEPTH Youth Program. We are passionate about empowering young people in the church. Each of our staffers and all three of our programs are unique, but our common goal can be summed up in DEPTH’s Mission and Commitment Statement:

DEPTH Youth Program’s mission is to encourage high school age youth to explore the nature of theological inquiry and vocation, build relationships that embody the radical nature of Christ, and discover more about their own call by God.

DEPTH Youth Program commits to creating safe, nurturing, and supportive retreat environments wherein youth can explore their faith, using the Vision Mission Commitment Statement of Chicago Theological Seminary, and the Positioning Statements of Elmhurst College as frameworks for ministry and teaching.
