Changed lives!  This is what we are about at Salem Church. We are a community of broken people who've been made whole by Jesus, doing our best to honor Him and change the world. We gather together to turn our hearts and minds toward God and are sent out into our community, workplaces, homes and schools to live out the love of Jesus in tangible and practical ways.

Baptism is a way of declaring to the world “I have decided to follow Jesus.” After a person has asked Jesus to lead them, their next step is baptism. Jesus was baptized and instructs us to do the same. It is the public celebration of the individuals private decision to follow Jesus.

Spiritually speaking, when you go in the water it symbolizes the “old” you and when you come out of the water it represents the "new life" you have in Jesus. It doesn’t mean you are perfect now, it is simply a physical expression of God’s power in your life.
