Our Foundation
From the beginning, God desired to be in a relationship with His creation.
At YWAM Muskoka, we build from a solid biblical foundation. We begin each day with corporate worship and prayer focusing our attention on God, then move on to an interactive classroom setting where students can learn and experience the following topics:
Nature and Character of God
Father-heart of God
Recognizing God's Voice
The Word
Biblical Worldview
Identity
Spiritual Warfare
Holy Spirit
Father-heart of God
Jesus & The Cross
Lordship
Generation built for Revival
Evangelism
Purpose
To GATHER and CHALLENGE people to worship, listen to, and obey God, releasing them to serve through evangelism, intercession, acts of compassion, and other expressions of God's heart for the world, possibly even pioneering new ministries.
To INSPIRE and CULTIVATE growth in one's relationship with God resulting in Christ-like character, which is based on a solid Biblical foundation, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the personal application of Biblical truth, especially concerning God's Character, the Cross and empowering Grace.
To SHARPEN one's ability to relate to, learn from, and work with people, including those of different cultures, personalities, and perspectives.
To further EQUIP each one to serve God's purposes either in or outside of YWAM Family or Ministries. Strengthening a commitment to reach the lost, especially the unreached, to care for the poor, and to influence all areas of society.
To IMPART the vision and foundational values of Youth With A Mission International as well as that of the host operating location and to provide information regarding a variety of opportunities for service.
