School of Transformational Business (SOTB)

August 26, 2025 YWAM SF Communications

We are excited to announce that the School of Transformational Business (SOTB) is coming to YWAM San Francisco this summer, starting July 13, 2026!

This unique 6-week school is designed for those who long to see communities and nations transformed through the power of business. We believe that business is not just about profit, it’s about people, purpose, and bringing the Kingdom of God into every sphere of society.

At SOTB, participants will learn how to:

  • Build and run businesses that are financially sustainable and mission-driven.

  • Integrate biblical principles into real-world business practices.

  • Address social, environmental, and spiritual brokenness through creative enterprise.

  • Develop a Kingdom mindset that sees business as a calling to bless and restore communities.

The School of Transformational Business is more than just a classroom; it’s a launching pad. Our goal is to equip entrepreneurs, leaders, and dreamers to step into their God-given calling, creating ventures that bring lasting impact both locally and globally.

And what better place to host this than San Francisco’s Tenderloin District, a neighborhood filled with challenges but also overflowing with potential. Here, in the heart of the city, you’ll not only learn business skills but also see firsthand how transformation is possible when God’s people step into broken places with courage and vision.

Who should apply?

  • Aspiring entrepreneurs who want to start businesses with an eternal impact.

  • Business owners who long to align their companies with Kingdom values.

  • Mission-minded leaders are ready to use business as a tool for discipleship and restoration.

If you’ve been waiting for an opportunity to merge your faith and business calling, this is it. Join us as we pioneer businesses that bring hope, dignity, and transformation to communities and nations!

📅 Dates: July 13 – October 2026
📍 Location: YWAM San Francisco
🌍 Focus: Transforming communities and nations through business

👉 Applications are open now. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this life-changing school! Click here to apply.
