CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
Flourish Children’s worship is meeting weekly this summer. During the Contemporary Worship Service children are dismissed from the service before the sermon to enter into a worship experience tailored just for them.
YOUTH MINISTRY
Salem Middle School and High School Youth are meeting for Summer Life Groups regularly! Check out the Youth calendar or email for more info!
Sports Ministry
Salem’s Sports Ministry offers sports and activities
for both adults and children!
The benefits of movement are great no matter how young or old you are and the fellowship of others is important for our social-emotional well-being. Scripture also tells us in 1 Corinthians 6:19 that our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and that we should care for our bodies well as that is the vessel through which God works.
Keep your eyes peeled for some amazing additions to our calendar this summer coming from sports ministry!
