about us
WHO WE ARE
Youth With a Mission (YWAM) Toowoomba is a young, dynamic community, passionate about knowing God, making Him known and saying “YES” to the great adventure of following Him.
We’re raising up a generation of young people to use their prayers, worship, music, missions, creativity and heart for justice to change the world.
WHAT IS YWAM?
Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is a global movement of Christians from many cultures, age groups and Christian traditions, dedicated to serving Jesus throughout the world.
Also known as YWAM (pronounced “WHY-wham”), we unite in a common purpose to know God and to make Him known. YWAM began in 1960 and the heart of YWAM is to worship God, to serve God’s global purposes, and to champion young people.
YWAM is dedicated to presenting Jesus personally to this and future generations, 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. We reach out in 180+ countries through three main areas — Evangelism, Training and Mercy Ministry.
OUR HISTORY
YWAM Toowoomba has been officially established as a YWAM centre since 2013 and is currently directed by Michael and Paige Bingham. The Bingham’s served at YWAM Brisbane for a number of years, and returned to Australia to take on the leadership of YWAM Toowoomba in December 2016. In January 2017 they were commissioned as the new Director’s for the centre. Throughout following years YWAM Toowoomba has been through a process of re-pioneering, aligning and redefining its vision.
