YWAM Salem Oregon

From the first Discipleship Training School (DTS) pioneered in Sept. of 1978, we have seen remarkable growth, development of ministries, and many voluntary full-time workers who have been trained, equipped, and sent out. We have sent out teams to over sixty countries, resulting in over twenty new ministries being pioneered world-wide. From its very beginning, God has called YWAM Salem to be a training and sending base, which continues to be what we do best.

We have about 80 full-time staff and 5 volunteers at any given time. Our desire as a base is to see, not just a "select few" involved in missions, but a vast array of people. At present, YWAM Salem operates six Discipleship Training Schools throughout the year (including DTS, Engage DTS, Korean DTS, and Crossroads DTS).
We also offer specified training schools: Foundations for Counseling Ministry (FCM), Basic Leadership Seminar (BLS), the School of Communication Foundations (SCF), the Environment and Resource Stewardship School (EARS), and
Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)

For a large part of the year, we run the NIKO program and Ropes Course Training. The Mobile Team travels to churches, schools, special events, and universities both in America and abroad sharing our passion for world missions.

Come and join us. Be inspired, Be trained, and Go!
