Mission Statement:
The Salem Baptist Church is a Word-centered ministry designed to evangelize the lost, equip and empower the people of God, and provide holistic ministry to our community as well as the world.

As Christ loves ALL PEOPLE, our purpose is to reach out in love to everyone, impacting the Omaha community with a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural ministry.

As Christ ministers to the TOTAL PERSON, we strive to become an oasis of hope, addressing spiritual, emotional and physical needs in a tangible way.

As Christ is EXCELLENT IN ALL HIS WAYS, we commit ourselves to the “spirit of excellence,” seeking the highest, the finest, and the best God has for us, serving Him and one another in this spirit.

Our foundation is the Word of God; and we believe it in its entirety. We believe we can do what it says we can do, be who it says we can be, and have what it says we can have.

(Matthew 28:18-20; 25:34-50; Galatians 3:26-29; Philippians 1:9-11; Hebrews 4:12)
