Young Life (ages High School)

Young Life is an outreach based ministry to high school age youth throughout our community.

Young Life doesn't start with a program. It starts with adults who are concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship. These relationships don't happen overnight — they take time, patience, trust and consistency.

A Party With a Purpose (Club)

What is it about Young Life club that makes it the best night of the week for thousands of kids every week? We like to think of it as a party with a purpose. It's controlled chaos that's almost impossible to describe, but kids know it when they see it. And before the party ends, we share a simple message about God's love for them. After all, that's what the celebration is all about.

Every Monday Night at 7pm to 8:30pm
Director: Pastor Lamar Pringle

Tribe of Judah “Praise” (ages 12-19)

Tribe of Praise is a Bible Study Component of Salem Youth ministry. This is not your “typical” Bible Study, as we use Multi-Media, talk about Music in our Di-Section of current songs and the meanings behind them. We talk about God in modern terms and in ways that youth can apply biblical teachings and principals in their everyday lives.

We meet weekly for kids who wish to learn more or grow in their faith through study, service and leadership. Leaders also encourage these kids to celebrate their faith through participation in Salem’s various Drama and Arts ministries.
