WE'RE ON A MISSION
TO KNOW GOD & MAKE HIM KNOWN
We believe all people were created to know God and that we all have the call on our lives to make Him known.
3 billion people have yet to hear the name of Jesus, many have never encountered the transformational power of the Gospel and countless Christians feel disconnected from God’s story.
We want to change that.
Our mission is simple, but it’s everything to us. Jesus is the only hope for the world. We know that if we can live like Jesus did—boldly, authentically, passionately—we’ll see transformation happen in our world, our cities, and in the lives of those who don’t yet know Him.
LOCALLY
Serving, loving, and sharing Jesus in our everyday lives.
We don’t wait for someone else to do it—we are the hands and feet of Jesus right where we are.
YWAM SALEM'S GOAL IS TO
Partner with the Local Church

GLOBALLY
We don’t stop at our borders.
Whether it’s a remote village or a busy city, we’re committed to taking His message to the ends of the earth.

We’re living out the Great Commission today—because the world needs Jesus now, and we believe we can be part of bringing His Kingdom to life right here and right now.
