SCHOOL OF MINISTRY DEVELOPMENT HAS TWO PARTS:
SOMD starts with a 12-week training intensive on the YWAM Orlando campus. The focus will be on activation and personal transformation. You won’t just be memorizing facts from textbooks – you’ll learn by doing. You’ll get real experience planning and leading ministries and developing your skills by working alongside some of our full time missionaries.
When your training intensive is over, you’ll go on an outreach in the nations. You’ll share the Gospel, equip the local church, and meet practical needs.

1) Campus Phase: 12 Weeks
- Join a movement that supports you and challenges you to follow Jesus.

2) Outreach Phase: 6-8 Weeks
