About Union Gospel Mission
Union Gospel Mission of Salem is an Assemblies of God church in Salem, Oregon, dedicated to serving homeless and vulnerable individuals through the transforming grace of Jesus Christ. Founded in 1953 by Christian businessmen concerned for harvest workers, the mission has grown to operate multiple facilities including a men's mission, women's shelter (Simonka House), and outreach center in Keizer. The church provides comprehensive services encompassing immediate needs like meals and shelter, alongside spiritual formation and recovery programs designed to help individuals achieve sustainable living and discover new life in Christ. The ministry reaches beyond its facilities through outreach to homeless camps and operates a thrift store to support its mission. Visitors and volunteers are welcomed to participate in chapel services, meal service, and community engagement as part of the church's holistic approach to restoration and hope.
