How we worship

A mighty God · A simple message · Family worship

At Salem, we all come together to worship God. In the church there is no rich or poor, young or old. We worship as a congregation to an audience of One.

Congregational A-Capella Singing

He gave us the ability to sing, and is the source of the joy in our hearts causing us to sing. We try to find songs that teach true doctrine and magnify the God we serve.

House of Prayer

We always share our prayer requests and the blessings of God with one another. Please let us know if we can pray for you; it would be our pleasure to do so.

Preach the Word

He has given us His word to preach from and we are to only preach from it. We are to preach the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27).
