Being a Disciple:

At Salem, we believe discipleship is not only something we learn; it is something we live.

Each month, we are inviting our church family to take one practical step of faith together. Some challenges will focus on serving our community. Some will focus on prayer. Some will help us grow in Scripture, relationships, generosity, and compassion.

The goal is simple: to help us follow Jesus together in visible, practical ways.

Upcoming Challenges

August: Prayer at Schools

In August, we will gather at local schools to pray for teachers, staff, administrators, students, and families as the new school year begins.

Each prayer gathering will last approximately 30 minutes. As school locations are confirmed, you will be able to register for the school where you would like to pray. Location leaders will follow up with those who register for their school.

September: Join a Life Group or Bible Study

In September, we are inviting everyone to take one month and join a Life Group, Bible study, or devotional group.

Groups will include in-person gatherings, Zoom options, and digital devotional groups through the YouVersion Bible App. You will be able to choose a group based on leader, format, schedule, and topic.
