Ecclesia College
While YWAM Tyler’s DTS is not an accredited school, we work with Ecclesia College (Springdale, Arkansas) which accepts YWAM Tyler’s credits into their programs. This opportunity to transfer credits offers qualifying students the option of benefiting from their YWAM training when pursuing a formal degree through this recognized academic institution.

Ecclesia College welcomes students from YWAM Tyler programs. It is Ecclesia’s desire that the principles and passions that have been instilled in students through the Discipleship Training School (DTS), Crossroads Discipleship Training School (CDTS), School of Evangelism (SOE), Crossroads School of Evangelism (CSOE),  School of Worship (SOW), School of the Bible (SOTB), Teachers for the Nations (TFN), and Communication and Culture Course (CCC) will have the opportunity to continue to grow and expand in their unique collegiate environment.
