YWAM Richmond

Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is a global movement of Christians from many denominations dedicated to presenting Jesus personally to this generation, to mobilizing as many as possible to help in this task, and to the training and equipping of believers for their part in fulfilling the Great Commission. As citizens of God’s kingdom, we are called to love, worship, and obey our Lord, to love and serve His Body, the Church, and to present the whole gospel for the whole person throughout the whole world.

We of Youth With A Mission believe that the Bible is God’s inspired and authoritative word, revealing that Jesus Christ is God’s son; that people are created in God’s image; that He created us to have eternal life through Jesus Christ; that although all people have sinned and come short of God’s glory, God has made salvation possible through the death on the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ; that repentance, faith, love and obedience are fitting responses to God’s initiative of grace towards us; that God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth; and that the Holy Spirit’s power is demonstrated in and through us for the accomplishment of Christ’s last commandment, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation” (Mark 16:15).

Through worship, pursuit of holiness, prayer, fellowship & witness our mission base is dedicated to KNOW & GO!   In the compelling words of our founder, Loren Cunningham

“I’ve always believed that Jesus through normal people could transform the world.  I was compelled that every human would hear the good news of Jesus Christ.  I had to see that happen.  I couldn’t settle for less.  I never believed that a person was limited because of their age, race or upbringing.  I believe that people could live for Jesus without man-made limits, orders or boundaries.  The world is waiting for us to risk everything in faith.  We have to step out of the box to impact the world.  No matter who you are, where you are, or what you do, Jesus is the answer.  He lives in you and the world needs Him.  Obedience is dangerous, it changes everything, but it’s simple too.  Just do the thing God whispers to you.  Take the first step.  THE TIME IS NOW!   Move beyond fear, and give your life to know Him and make Him know”
