Our Programs and Missions
YWAM San Diego offers a wide array of programs designed to equip and mobilize young people for missions, fostering personal growth and passionate service.
Our commitment to transforming lives extends beyond our local community, reaching out to every corner of the globe through various outreach programs.
Discipleship Training School (DTS)
The DTS is our foundational program, equipping students with a solid understanding of God's Word, practical mission experience, and a tuition of Jesus' nature and character. Students engage in intensive Bible study, worship, evangelism, and intercession, all while gaining hands-on missions experience.
This life-changing journey consists of a 12-week lecture phase followed by an 8-12 week outreach phase, taking students to remote corners of the world to serve, witness, and learn.
School of Excellence (SOEE)
YWAM San Diego's School of Excellence equips students with necessary skills to thrive in leadership roles, breaking down the barriers that often hinder a leader's full potential. Students explore identity, leadership development, and crucible moments, all while gaining practical experience in leading teams and projects.
Through this program, we empower future leaders to boldly take their place in Missions, Education, and the Marketplace, transforming lives and communities worldwide.
