Our church is small compared to many but it is large in working in the community. I love what we do for God.
About Salem Baptist Church - The Place of the Supernatural
Founded in 1868 under a simple bush arbor, Salem Baptist Church has stood for generations as a place where ordinary people encounter an extraordinary God.

At Salem you’ll find hope, healing, and the power of prayer at work—physically, financially, and spiritually. Come expecting God to move and experience why we’re called The Place of the Supernatural.

BELIEFS
Scripture
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and final authority for faith and life. It is God-breathed, trustworthy in all it affirms, and sufficient to guide the Church today. (2 Tim. 3:16–17; 2 Pet. 1:20–21; Ps. 119:105)
God
We believe in one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—co-equal, co-eternal, and glorious in holiness, wisdom, power, and love. (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14)
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man; conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, sinless in life, atoning in death, bodily raised, ascended, and coming again in glory. Salvation is found in Him alone. (John 1:1–14; 1 Cor. 15:3–4; Acts 4:12)
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, regenerates the believer, indwells and empowers the Church, distributes spiritual gifts, and glorifies Jesus. We expect and welcome His present-day activity. (John 16:8–15; Acts 1:8; 1 Cor. 12:4–11)
Humanity & Sin
We believe all people are created in God’s image, fallen through sin, and in need of salvation by grace. (Gen. 1:26–27; Rom. 3:23; Eph. 2:1–9)
Salvation
We believe we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ—not by works. True faith produces repentance, new life, and ongoing transformation. (Eph. 2:8–10; Rom. 10:9–10; 2 Cor. 5:17)
The Church
We believe the universal Church is the body of Christ, and the local Church is God’s primary instrument for worship, discipleship, service, and mission. We affirm the priesthood of all believers and the autonomy of the local Church under Christ’s headship. (Eph. 1:22–23; 1 Pet. 2:9; Acts 2:42–47)
Ordinances
We practice two ordinances given by Christ:
Baptism: for believers only, by immersion, as a public confession of faith. (Matt. 28:19; Acts 8:36–39)
The Lord’s Supper: a memorial of Christ’s death, received by believers with self-examination. (1 Cor. 11:23–29)
Sanctification & Holy Living
We believe the Holy Spirit leads believers into holiness—shaping our character, purifying our motives, and empowering us to obey. (1 Thess. 4:3; Gal. 5:22–25; Rom. 12:1–2)
Prayer & The Supernatural
We believe prayer is the engine of the Church. In alignment with God’s will, we boldly ask for miracles, healing, deliverance, provision, and revival—expecting the God of Scripture to move among us today. (1 John 5:14 15; Mark 16:17 18; James 5:13 16)
Spiritual Gifts
We believe that all spiritual gifts mentioned in the New Testament are still in operation today, serving the edification of the Church and the mission of God. They must be exercised in love and in biblical order. (1 Cor. 12–14; Rom. 12:3–8; Eph. 4:11–16)
Worship
We believe worship is a lifestyle of reverence and obedience to God, expressed through gathered praise, biblical preaching, generous giving, and daily surrender. (John 4:23–24; Ps. 100; Rom. 12:1)
Family & Marriage
We believe God designed marriage as a covenant and the family as a primary place of discipleship, nurture, and witness. We honor singleness and marriage, encouraging purity, fidelity, and mutual submission. (Gen. 2:24; Eph. 5:21–33; Josh. 24:15)
Stewardship & Generosity
We believe everything we have belongs to God. We give joyfully and sacrificially of our time, talents, and treasure to advance the gospel and bless our community. (Mal. 3:10; 2 Cor. 8–9; 1 Pet. 4:10)
Justice, Mercy & Compassion
We believe the gospel compels us to seek justice, love mercy, and serve our neighbors—especially the poor, vulnerable, and marginalized. (Mic. 6:8; Luke 4:18–19; Matt. 25:35–40)
Evangelism & Mission
We believe every believer is sent. We proclaim Christ locally and globally, making disciples and planting and strengthening churches until the whole world knows Jesus. (Matt. 28:18–20; Acts 1:8; Rom. 10:14–15)
Last Things
We believe Jesus will return bodily, the dead will be raised, and God will judge the living and the dead. Believers will enjoy eternal life with God; the unrepentant will face eternal separation. This hope fuels holy living now. (1 Thess. 4:13–18; Rev. 20–22; 2 Pet. 3:10–13)
Religious Liberty & Conscience
We affirm freedom of conscience under God and the responsibility of the Church to obey Christ above all, engaging the public square with truth and grace. (Acts 5:29; Rom. 14:5–12)
Our Distinctive: “The Place of the Supernatural”
We expect God to do what only God can do—save, heal, deliver, restore, and revive—while we commit to do what He commands: preach the gospel, teach the Word, pray without ceasing, love our neighbors, and walk in holiness. We pursue the presence of God, the power of God, and the purpose of God—always in step with the Word of God.
