At Salem, we have long believed that missions are vitally important to the life and health of the church. Jesus Christ challenged the newly forming church with these words:

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Our missions program is significant in scope, especially for a church our size. We support many individual missionaries worldwide, and missionary organizations with our "Faith Promise" missions giving budget. We also encourage hands-on mission work by church members at these levels:

Local Missions

• Salvation Army (food preparation, bell ringing, etc.)
• Migrant Workers (annual picnic)
• Adopt a Family (Thanksgiving & Christmas Outreach)
• Rhodes Grove Camp (construction of facilities at Christian campground)

Regional Missions

• Kentucky Mission (delivering food and clothing)
• Building and home repair and maintenance

International Missions

• Nicaragua: building homes and providing a Vacation Bible School
