Our mission at Salem is to generously love people at home and around the world toward a growing relationship with Christ.
One of the Christlike characteristics of our church family is a heart of generosity toward people. We believe God wants to leverage that generosity as we live out His calling wherever He leads us, whether at home or around the world.
Our desire is to be a church that is characterized by these CORE VALUES:
At Salem, we believe community is an essential part of Christian life. Connect Groups and serving are two of the best ways to grow together as we grow closer to Christ.

WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS
SalemKids is a fun, safe environment for newborn – fifth grade. Our goal is to partner with parents so the Biblical teachings can carry on through the week.
We believe two combined influences make a greater impact than just two individual influences.
As mentioned above, our SalemKids check-in is located in our Welcome Center.
For those older kids, check out Salem Students for sixth grade – twelfth grade. SalemKids meets Sundays at 9a & 10:30a and Wednesdays from 6-7:30p.
