Mission Statement The Salem Baptist Church is transforming lives by Exalting the
Savior, Evangelizing the Lost, Equipping the Saints and
Expanding the Kingdom of God.
(Matthew 22: 36-40; Matthew 28: 18-20)
Each saint of God should be a maturing disciple of Jesus Christ. In 2017 we expect each member to
aspire to a higher level of worship, relationship, discipleship and stewardship.
Ephes. 4:11-16 (NKJV)
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and
teachers, [12] for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body
of Christ, [13] till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to
a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; [14] that we should no longer
be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of
men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, [15] but, speaking the truth in love, may grow
up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ-- [16] from whom the whole body, joined and
knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part
does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
In this new year, each of us should renew our commitment to the Lord Jesus, to one another as brothers
and sisters in Christ, and to seeing lost souls served and saved.
Matthew 9:37-38 (NKJV)
Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
[38] Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."
