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.

Happy Lent!

We might not think of Lent as a “happy” time, but that’s the way God thinks about this season. He looks forward to it!

It’s Valentines Day!

Valentine’s Day doesn’t just have to be about romantic love. It can be so much more!

Renewal in our journey to the destination of love

This year, we have a rare occurrence, where Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday coincide. Some see these two occasions as competing and conflicting with one another. How can celebrating Valentine’s Day – which is often associated with special gifts and food – go together with Ash Wednesday – which is a day of fasting and abstinence? I would like to propose that this is actually a God-sent opportunity to give us a deeper insight about – and perhaps a bit of correction to – the beliefs we hold about each occasion. For both occasions call us to: Renewal in our journey to the destination of love.
