YWAM Chateau
Ministry Organization
YWAM Château is a pioneering missions base that began in Switzerland and now also operates a training center in Denver, USA. As part of the global Youth With A Mission (YWAM) movement—with over 1,000 locations in 180 nations—our purpose is to empower people from all nations through training, discipleship, and cross-cultural outreach. We provide both vocational and spiritual development through programs in leadership, biblical studies, technology, and the arts, while also addressing global needs such as refugee support, youth discipleship, and human development. Our multicultural, live-learn community creates space for personal transformation through mentoring and shared life in a discipleship-focused environment.
At the heart of YWAM Château is a deep commitment to building an inclusive, international family that lives out the values of faith, innovation, and service. Our strategic initiatives include training people from North Korea, developing technology solutions for missions, and equipping emerging leaders to impact society and the Church. With over 25 years of field experience, founders Vince and Jinah Licari have led more than 50 schools and seminars worldwide. Whether through launching new ministries, hosting outreach teams, or raising up the next generation of world changers, YWAM Château exists to see people restored, equipped, and released to know God and make Him known.
