About Andrew Wommack Ministries

God called us to teach the truth of the gospel to the body of Christ with special emphasis on His unconditional love and the balance between grace and faith. We are doing our best to fulfill that call by teaching at conferences, in churches, on television, through podcasts, by training others at Charis Bible College, and by developing ministry materials to help you in your relationship with the Lord.

We welcome you to this ministry and pray that this is just the beginning of a relationship that will help you know and understand our loving heavenly Father in a deeper way.

God Bless You,

Andrew & Jamie Wommack

The History of Andrew Wommack Ministries

It all began March 23, 1968

Andrew was born again at just eight years old. Although he avoided the rebellious phase often associated with adolescence, he believed that through his own righteousness, he could develop a relationship with the Lord. But then, on March 23, 1968, everything changed. Andrew realized that he had fallen into the bondage of legalism and self-righteousness, much like the Pharisees whom Jesus rebuked. Expecting the wrath of God to fall on him, Andrew was surprised to feel God’s presence flood him with love instead. “God’s love consumed me,” he says. “When I was at my worst, God’s love was the strongest.”

This encounter forever changed the way he saw God and put Andrew on a path to change the way others saw Him. However, shortly after, he was drafted into the Army and shipped to Vietnam. Despite how difficult and dangerous things were on the front lines, God used that time to ground Andrew in His Word, and he returned to America stronger in his walk than ever.

Andrew submitted to the call of God to be a teacher of the Word. He and Jamie were married in 1972, and together they began teaching Bible studies. Over the next six years, they would pastor three small churches and complete their family with two sons, Joshua and Jonathan Peter.

In the early nineties, the Lord spoke to Andrew about starting a Bible college. He had put on his heart 2 Timothy 2:2, where Paul told Timothy to take the things he had learned and commit them to faithful men and women. Andrew believed that academics alone couldn’t get the job done, and he was divinely shown that practical “on-the-job” training combined with Bible instruction would prepare his students for whatever God was calling them to do. After assembling a faculty of seasoned ministers and associates, Charis Bible College opened its doors in September 1994. Through Charis graduates, the ministry started seeing multiplied many times over the impact Andrew had been making on his own.

Before the turn of the century, Andrew was still teaching on radio, but God led him to launch into television, telling him, “You’re just now starting your ministry.” Andrew would come to fully understand what the Lord meant, years later, as his television ministry has a potential reach of 3.2 billion people around the world today, far surpassing any goal he’d had up until that point.

After going on television, the ministry saw an exponential increase in response. It became very apparent that Andrew needed a new building to accommodate a growing student body as well as an adequate call center and television studio. Then the Lord spoke to Andrew from Psalm 78:41 on January 31, 2002, that he had limited Him by his small thinking.

Andrew repented of this and started enlarging his vision. In December of that same year, the ministry purchased a 110,000-square-foot facility that would support AWM and Charis for years.

As the ministry continued to grow, so did the need for a new home for AWM and, particularly, Charis. In 2009, the supply came in the form of a 157-acre pristine piece of property in Woodland Park, Colorado. This time, Andrew would get to design and build the needed facilities on the ministry’s own land! After purchasing the property, which is called The Sanctuary today, construction began on the facility for Charis. The faculty, staff, and students moved into that facility, The Barn, in January 2014.

Today the ministry is progressing like never before, continuing to fulfill the vision God gave Andrew of going as far and as deep with the Gospel as possible.
