A multicultural, Christ-centred community in Northern Ireland with a passion for peace and reconciliation

About Us

We call YWAM’s centre “An Cuan” (on-koo-in), which is Irish for "The Harbour." It is a place where people come and rest, are restored, equipped and then sent out again.

We run Discipleship Training Schools, Open Mic nights, worship gatherings, ministry nights, craft markets, retreats and other seminars, as well as helping local ministries and sending teams all around Ireland and the world. We have loved welcoming thousands of people through our doors.
