CAMPUS PHASE

Your first 12 weeks on campus focuses on “To Know God.” In this phase we emphasize heart transformation and character development. You'll truly deepen your walk with God.

"God has redeemed so much; grown me into more of who He created me to be, and loved me so fiercely over the last ten months with YWAM that I cannot begin to describe it all in words."

~ Christy, DTS/SOE Graduate

outreach phase

The outreach phase focuses on “To Make Him Known.” You and your team will travel together putting into practice the principles learned in class while on both domestic and cross-cultural field ministry.

Through evangelism, stories, dramas, church ministry, and practical help for the poor and needy, you will be able to see the transforming power of the Gospel.

Prayer

Prayer is a vital part of our Christian walk. It is during these times we grab hold of God’s heart. You will engage in rich times of prayer and grow your faith by diving into powerful times of intercession. All campus prayer times lift up, strengthen, and support missionaries from all over the globe.

Worship

God wants us all to see worship is a lifestyle. As we worship our Savior and King, we are catapulted into action. We like to say, "Worship is fuel for missions." You'll definitely grow deeper in your intimacy with God by immersing yourself with inspiring times of worship. 

Small Groups

Relationship is an essential part of your discipleship — first with God, then with others. Small groups are a place where lifelong relationships with your classmates begin. As you walk through this eye-opening and inspiring time, grow closer with classmates as you come together to exalt the name of Jesus.

One on One

During your time here at YWAM Tyler, we want to be available to help you process everything He is doing in your life. You'll link up with a mentor who will walk with you through your time here on the campus. Ask the hard questions. Say anything. We want to help you grow.
