Once you find a spot in our main parking lot, enter through the doors under the canopy that are labelled 'office' on the East side of the church, or through the doors under the drive-through canopy on the South-West corner of the church. Once inside, there will be someone to greet you and direct you to where you need to go.

    Kids are welcome at Salem! There is a nursery with trained and screened workers available for 1 & 2 year old children. There is a Children's Church segment during the service for kids age 3 - age 6. Children between grade 2 and grade 6 are each given an activity clipboard designed to help them engage with every aspect of the service. These programs run from September to June, and pause during the summer months.

    Salem Church has a comfortable family atmosphere. We enjoy both traditional hymns as well as contemporary music. We spend time in congregational prayer. Each week there will be a time of teaching from God's Word. Sermons are rooted in Scripture.

Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • Scriptures

    We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired by God, inerrant in the original writing, and that they are the supreme and final authority in faith and life. 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21.

  • God

    We believe in only one true, living, personal God, who is perfect, infinite, eternal, and who exists in three co-equal persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Isaiah 45:21; Matthew 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 4:6; Acts 17:28

  • Jesus

    We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God; that He came in the flesh, being begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, thus being true God and true man, in order that He might redeem us from eternal death through His vicarious suffering and death on the cross; that He was raised from the dead for our justification and is now at the right hand of God interceding for us. Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 10:21; Matthew 1:18-25; John 1:29; John 3:16; Romans 4:25; Philippians 2:5-8; Hebrews 4:14-16; Revelation 1:8; Revelation 22:13.

  • Holy Spirit

    We believe the Holy Spirit to be a member of the Godhead, of the same nature with the Father and the Son; that He was active in creation; that in His relationship to the unbelieving world He restrains the evil one until God’s purpose is fulfilled; that He convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment; that He bears witness to the truth of the Gospel in preaching and testimony; that He is the agent in the New Birth; that He seals, guides, teaches, witnesses, sanctifies, helps and endows the believer with spiritual gifts. Genesis 1:2; John 16:8-11; John 3:3,5; John 14:16-17,26; John 16:13; Acts 4:31; 1 Corinthians 12:4-7; Ephesians 1:13; 2 Thessalonians 2:7.

  • Satan

    We believe that Satan is a real supernatural personality, a fallen angel of great power, cunning, and wickedness; the enemy of God and of all good, seeking the destruction of Christ and the eternal ruin of man; but who has been defeated by Christ’s death and is doomed to be cast forever into the Lake of Fire. Matthew 13:19,39; Mark 1:13; John 13:2; Colossians 2:15; Revelation 20:10.

  • Man

    We believe that man was created by God in His own image; that he sinned against God and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; that now in his natural state he is totally depraved, being born with a sinful nature, producing upon reaching moral responsibility, sins of thought, word and deed; that he needs a redeemer, and that by receiving Jesus Christ as his Saviour he is born again by the Holy Spirit and becomes a child of God. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 3:1-24; John 1:12-13; John 5:24; Romans 1:19-32; Romans 5:12.

  • Bodily Resurrection

    We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the just and the everlasting punishment of the unjust. John 5:28-29; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:10-15.

  • Blessed Hope

    We believe in that “blessed hope”, the personal, pre-millennial, and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 25:13; John 14:3; Acts 1:11; 1 Corinthians 15:50-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; 1 John 3:2-3; Revelation 20:1-6.
