YWAM Seattle's Philosophy of Ministry

Our ministry philosophy is based on a belief in the historic Christian faith and reflected in both the Apostles's Creed and the Nicrene Creed. In addition, the following words help to capture the values that continuallg guide out r lives and ministries:

Commuunity & Connectedness-
Our faith was never meant to be lived-out in isolation, but is best experienced and expressed as a body. God calls us to grow together, to serve together, to laugh and cry and learn together. Anything less is at best, empty religion.

Integrity & Authenticity-
Unless we are willing to be real with God and with each other, then we are spinning our wheels in terms of genuine spirituality. The more intimate, raw and honest our ministry becomes, the greater our impact will be on the emerging generation.

Equipping & Mentoring-
Empowering people to become who God wants them to be by helping them identify God's call on their lives, maximise their potential and intergrate them as a team. Relationship and personal accountability is key in this process.

Creativity & Flexibility-
In order to avoid stagnation and continue moving forward, we must always be innovative in our thinking and receptive in our attitude towards change. Our comunity should be one who can receive the new wine of God's Spirit without bursting, and at the same time preserve the rich foundations that preceded it.

YWAM Seattle is a community of people dedicated to producing mission-minded disciples.
