What is the Heart on Fire school?
The Heart on Fire School is a 10-month adventure for young Christians aged 18 and older, who have completed their education and want more: more depth, more authenticity, more of Jesus.
We dream of a generation that is passionate for Jesus, for people, and for Switzerland. Young people who are boldly moving forward and passionately committed to making God’s Kingdom visible in this world.
The Heart on Fire School is a part-time program. This means that you can continue working in your profession while engaging with a variety of topics, allowing you to grow in your personal relationship with God.

LIFE IN COMMUNITY
We live in community
An important part of the Heart on Fire School is living in community. You will stay in accommodation in the region, which we from YWAM Zürich will arrange for you.
Together, you will not only attend the classes but also share life with one another, encourage each other, and discover what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
