Youth Ministry at Salem Baptist Church
Gospel Truth | Worship | Discipleship | Fellowship | Sending
Thank you for entrusting your youth to us! We believe that God graciously and effectively calls people through the biblical means of grace encountered during the gathered worship service (corporate prayer, singing, Scripture reading, expositional preaching, administration of baptism and the Lord's Supper). Every additional ministry (such as youth ministry) seeks to apply and affirm its commissioning and promotes the health and unity of the weekly worship gathering.
We also desire to come alongside, not replace, the family's role in discipleship. We strive to equip both youth and families with worshipful liturgies/spiritual disciplines, biblical literacy, love for God's people, and compassion for the lost. Here's what’s happening in our youth ministry:
