The Centre aims to facilitate the formation of God’s people in Christ-likeness.
We create resources and learning environments to develop our capacities to know God and participate in His story.
We desire Christian formation and discipleship that establishes followers of Jesus who are rooted in the love of God, established in a community of faith, and empowered by Holy Spirit to love God, and serve His purposes in every context of life and work.
Through an integration of learning, worship and community life we provide opportunities to engage our own stories and desires to more deeply follow Jesus and enact His kingdom.
The Centre exists within Youth With A Mission's University of the Nations.
Through the Centre’s Network we offer seminars, schools and retreats to encourage and equip ministry, church, and YWAM leaders. We develop and provide resources and curriculum to promote Christian formation and discipleship.
