YWAM Salem is embarking on a campaign to expand our facilities in response to the coming wave of young missionaries.
Phase 1 Goal: $1,600,000
We are seeing an exponential increase in student numbers. Given current growth trends we expect to be at full capacity by 2021. In order to achieve our long-term vision and train the next generation of missionaries, YWAM Salem must first expand and improve its facilities in 3 strategic ways.
Student dormitory: As we prepare to train and send more missionaries, we need more beds for them to sleep in. This new dorm will add 34 beds in 18 versatile rooms allowing us to expand our capacity to meet our growing DTS classes.
Infrastructure and Permits: In order to prepare the YWAM Salem Campus for expansion, we secured comprehensive conditional use permits. We recently broke ground on our core systems, like water and septic systems! These upgrades will literally lay the foundations for the future.
RV Loop: YWAM Salem’s Campus has an area that is ideal for parking and providing electric and water hook-ups for recreational vehicles (RVs). This low-cost project will have a significant impact. We will be able to host 6 RVs at any one time, immediately expanding our capacity to house students, staff, volunteer laborers, guest speakers, and more. Expanding housing options on the base is critical to the live-learn environment in which we disciple.
Material costs have increased significantly, and due to county conditions, like a required welcome/ security center, we anticipate 15% more cost than projected!
We are asking donors to join us in reaching our goals and making the dream of activating a generation to disciple the nations a reality!
You can make a one-time donation or set up monthly recurring donations. All donations are tax-deductible!

Located on 35 acres in Oregon’s capital city, YWAM Salem is a non-profit, international and interdenominational Christian organization focusing on missions training, local and global outreach, and coaching young people through our flagship program, The Discipleship Training School (DTS). We help people discover their gifts and calling and use those to serve God in the world—especially the unreached.
In 2019, we trained 140 students who went on 10 different outreaches. Those teams have left a lasting impact in Greece, Albania, Vietnam, Thailand and many more nations around the world. They have served through kids ministry, teaching english, Prayer and Worship, Evangelism, Prison Ministry, Refugee ministry and in many more ways.
We are on track to increase to 30 teams in 2028.
We have worked with engineers, architects, and contractors to project the cost of our first phase of expansion.

We believe all people were created to know God and to dare to believe He can change history with your life. But there's a problem. 3 billion people in the world have never heard the name of Jesus, and countless young people feel disconnected from God’s story.
We’re on a mission to change that by targeting 2 key demographics: unactivated youth and unreached people.
At YWAM Salem, we are committed to growth. And we're planning for it.
This phase adds an additional 10,800 square foot versatile student dormitory building, bringing our total capacity to 300+ students.
Project Cost: $2.4 million
A place for our community to meet as a whole and additional classroom space for our expanding programs. This 11,500 square foot building will have seating for 350+. Three classrooms that each seat 50+ and room to store materials.
Projected Cost: $2.4 million
This includes 6 family oriented units, 16 single oriented units, 8 speaker/guest units, and increases staff capacity by 45% up to 120. Additionally, these new living quarters house our team close to the students they are mentoring. This is critical to the live-learn environment in which we disciple.
Projected Cost: $1.4 million
We are asking donors to join us in activating youth and reaching the unreached with the gospel. If you'd like more information on the YWAM Salem capital campaign, please email development@ywamsalem.org.
