One of the great privileges of life is belonging to a family. Everyone wants the love and fellowship that comes from a family. Here at Salem, we are family. This is the place where you can enjoy the fellowship of a loving, caring church.

We are an independent Baptist Church with a great traditional Music Ministry and an exciting Youth Ministry. We have the largest Bus Ministry in the Decatur area and a large Children's Church.

Our Music Ministry

We have a strong Christ-honoring evangelistic music ministry in our church. Our music incorporates a mixed format of music for each service. We use choruses, fresh, new choir chorals and traditional hymns of the faith. We are not into the “contemporary” music or the “contemporary” style of worship. We look for music with a good Gospel message that can be clearly heard without a driving beat getting in the way of the Holy Spirit. We have soloists, trios, and quartets of different age groups.

At Salem, we believe everybody is somebody important, so we want to be a blessing and an encouragement to everyone. If you like to hear great Gospel music, come to our church.
