If you want to be in San Antonio and you are opposed to college religious programs run by Catholics, you may be out of luck.
St. Mary's has wonderful programs- even a Master's Degree in Pastoral Ministry.

it means im non-denominational but theres not really alot of schools that are based on that so the next best thing is baptistWhat the does "Non-Denominational/Baptist" mean? Which one is it? You are either one or the other -- the two are mutually exclusive. You might want to figure that one out before you plan on getting a religious degree.
I have friends who have graduated from both the University of Mary Hardin Baylor and Houston Baptist University, both of which have programs of your interest.
If the Baptist church works anything like the Methodist church, then you should probably start talking to your pastor so that you can get some recommendations for your regional conference. You should also probably ask your counselor or pastor about this instead of relying on spurstalk.
Instead of relying on spurstalk??? heresy
Indeed, I know it might be difficult to believe, but many people here enjoy talking out of their ass. Surprise!
I'm one of them.
The you say.
okay so this is sumhow also career related,
currently im only doin one sub, 2 subs next semester and i graduate, (accounting major)
im stuck between acceptin this accounts job which pays first year grads about 30k, compared to a customer support IT job for 50k, which job should i take up, since i dont wanna waste 4yrs of accounting eduacation and workin in a different field which is not the career step i want to take. The 50k if very temptin as it also provides training.....
I don't know if this is anything that you would be interested in or if you meet the age requirements.
But if you want real hands on youth ministry experience, you will get it here.

I went through both years of the program and loved it.
The most important thing about finding a college is to go and visit and make certain it is a place that you feel comfortable and that makes your learning expectations. Arrange to sit in on a few classes if possible so that you get a sense of what actual classroom experiences are like.
The open houses and recruitment events hosted by colleges are a good thing to hit, but remember that everyone has their best face on. We host those and I help plan and run the events as part of my job, and I can tell you that there is a lot of good information, but also that they are carefully scripted and the students that participate are carefully chosen.
Also, if you are truly non-demonitional, it might be in your best interest to do a little background research and church shopping. Baptists are divided between several different sects, and which sect/region you belong to can vary the beliefs widely. For example, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is way more conservative than the Independent Baptist Convention (IBC) and is likely to take a different stance regarding women's roles in the church, gay marriage, abortion, etc. You may find that you are more comfortable with the beliefs of Methodists or Presbyterians than Baptists.
If it's truly a field you want to go into, it's worth delving into the background theology of the sect to understand where it comes from. Especially since working in the field can be very difficult depending on which sect you hope to work in.
What's really impressive is that they are able to type out of it, too.
