Our Structure and Board

Our official incorporated name is Youth With A Mission – Bishop, and we are a 501(c)(3) religious non-profit corporation. The name Sea & Summit Expeditions is now a “dba” of YWAM – Bishop. Though we have our own corporation, we are a part of the larger family of ministries of Youth With A Mission. Our Legal Board members typically consist of one third YWAM – Bishop staff leaders, one third local area residence, and one third from the YWAM regional leadership, and we submit ourselves to the authority of the greater YWAM leadership. This division of thirds allows a balanced oversight by the ministry staff leadership, the local community, and our parent mission of YWAM. No one in leadership in all three areas receives any form of financial remuneration – all serve voluntarily because they believe in the value of this ministry, its staff, and it’s vision.
