Calvary Chapel of Salem

Biblical Literacy

We are committed to studying and teaching the Bible with accuracy and clarity so that we may know God and apply His timeless truth to our lives today. We believe developing a biblical worldview is essential for growing more like Jesus Christ and being equipped for every good work. (Romans 12:2; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Community

As members of Christ's body, we are all inter-connected and dependent upon one another. Being united in Christ-centered relationships is necessary for our spiritual growth and our witness for a watching world. We are committed to fostering a safe community where we share life, exercise our spiritual gifts, and build up one another in love. (John 17:20-21; Romans 12:4-8; Ephesians 4:15)
Mission

We have the responsibility and heart to share the message of Jesus Christ with those who are spiritually lost and to invite them to turn to the Lord for forgiveness, new life, and a permanent home in his family. We seek to lovingly speak grace and truth into our culture with our lips and our lives, our words and our works. (Matthew 28:19-20; Luke 19:10; John 13:34-35)
Worship

Authentic worship must be heartfelt and grounded and guided by God's truth. It is not merely an activity confined to a particular time and place, but rather a way of life. Therefore, we strive to love and honor God both in our personal lives and in the corporate worship of our church. (John 4:23-24; Romans 12:1)
