Our history

Oregon Adventure Ministries (OAM) grew out of a passion to teach men about the outdoors, adventure, and Jesus.

An avid outdoorsman all his life, Steve Pruitt (founder) started a men’s rafting ministry at Sunset Presbyterian Church in 2004. Through the years Steve learned how to lead groups in a series of activities - white water rafting, hiking, target shooting, archery and camping.

In 2015 Steve transitioned the company to be called Oregon Adventure Ministries. A ministry that maintains a focus on the same outdoor activities and became a certified, licensed, and insured whitewater guide service with the Oregon State Marine Board, as well as establishing our status as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. OAM is one of the premier outfitter guide companies in Oregon.

After 17 years of dedication to the Ministry, Steve Pruitt retired in 2021 and the reigns have been handed over to Dale Hosley as the new Executive Director, along with the Board of Directors.

OAM’s desire is still to serve God by using His creation to impact the lives of those we serve. Therefore, we provide adventures in nature of different lengths to rid distraction and encounter God and each other in new ways. We provide all equipment, food, transportation and guides to create an environment to let God speak and to build friendships. Whatever kind of trip you are looking for, give us an opportunity to make it a memorable and life changing trip.
