Growing In Love From The Heart

Who Are We?

As Kerygma Australia, we believe that loving from the heart matters, whether it has to do with:

Relationship with God
Relationships as couples & families
Relationships within the church family
Relationships for a better world

So, we seek to grow and empower others to grow in these spheres of relationships.

We invite you to join us on this journey of growing in love from the heart.

Kerygma Australia is a branch of ‘Kerygma’ and a part of the ‘YWAM’ global family of ministries. In Australia, ‘YWAM Canberra’ is our home community.

What People Are Saying About Us

Cassius Soares has been an active member of our parish community over the past three years and an important contributor to our mission here. His extensive training and experience through YWAM and Kerygma has been such a gift to us. Cassius launched and coordinated our Alpha Course which has brought much life to our community and introduced a new evangelising thrust to our mission. He has been an important voice on our Senior Leadership Team, helping us to develop our vision and strategy over the years. Cassius has also offered courses and mentoring for married couples, developed a men's sharing group, and is now leading the Following Jesus program aimed at young adults. Most importantly though, Cassius has a deep faith and is a wonderful witness of Gospel values to those around him. I am grateful for his friendship, and his strong leadership in our community.

As I have engaged with Kerygma ministries in various parts of the world, I have been consistently impressed with both the concept and the outworking of Kerygma. As well as their ministry within the Catholic church, it has helped myself and others gain understanding and engage more meaningfully with the Catholic world. I hope to see their ministry expand and grow across Australia and the world.

Witnesses of Jesus’ Resurrection

The theme of ‘witnesses’ – people who’ve experienced something – speaks to something that is really distinctive to the Christian faith.

Christianity is about something that happened; and there were witnesses of it. Without that, Christianity falls apart.

Evidence of the Resurrection

What is the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead? I want to focus on just one feature that John the Apostle especially draws attention to in his gospel account – namely, the burial cloths left behind in the tomb.

A big piece in God’s response to the presence of suffering and evil in our world

A common question over the centuries, for those who believe in the existence of God and that he is the source of all being and is entirely good, has been: Then why does he allow evil and suffering?
