Address
Part of a Global Movement
Rooted in Lancaster. Connected to the nations.
YWAM Lancaster is located on a 59-acre campus in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, just 25 minutes from downtown Lancaster. Our campus serves as a hub for missions training and discipleship programs designed to equip young people for global outreach.
YWAM Lancaster is a local expression of Youth With A Mission (YWAM), a global missions movement focused on knowing God and making Him known.
As part of the wider YWAM family, we join believers around the world in training, discipling, and sending people into every sphere of society and every nation.
At YWAM Lancaster, that global mission takes shape through worship, discipleship, and intentional community designed to help you grow in intimacy with God and confidence in your calling.
Train. Grow. Send.

Life in Community
Formed together, sent together
Life at YWAM Lancaster is relational, intentional, and centered on Jesus. We believe discipleship happens in everyday life, not just in classrooms.
Students live, learn, worship, and serve together, creating an environment where spiritual growth and authentic relationships develop naturally.
Your daily rhythm may include corporate worship and prayer gatherings, Bible teaching and group discussions, shared meals and community life, one-on-one mentorship and discipleship, and opportunities for local and international outreach.
You will be challenged, encouraged, and equipped as you grow in your walk with God alongside others pursuing the same mission.
