Kerygma USA
Kerygma USA is a movement of Catholics and other Lay Christians, building the Kingdom of God together. We are an non-profit ministry, working within the city limits of Chico, California. Our office and activities are centered in town, but we are connected through YWAM to mission opportunities around the world.
Ministry Purpose
Our goal is for all “To Know God and Make Him Known,” through discipleship training, evangelization and mercy ministries. Our emphasis is on a foundation of a strong personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We invite young adults to grow in their faith while experiencing how they can “proclaim the Gospel,” to their own peers at home and then to the unreached of the nations. Our name, “Kerygma” is Greek for “Proclamation of the Gospel.” We provide a way for you to test a vocation to serve God as a lay missionary. Join us in reaching the cultures of the world for Jesus right in our own backyard! Come as you are and be a part of the evangelization of the cities of America for the sake of the gospel.
Youth With a Mission
Kerygma is a ministry within Youth With a Mission (YWAM). For over 60 years, YWAM has given lay people the opportunity to grow in their faith through discipleship training and then put it into action through hands-on short-term and long-term missions, locally and globally.
