THE New salem STORY
WE MAKE LOVING JESUS AND LIVING OUT YOUR FAITH SIMPLE
Our Church started over 100 years ago near downtown Sumter. They quickly established a church on Salem Ave
and met there impacting and loving on the community for nearly eighty years. In the mid-eighties, the church relocated to the current location in the Millwood area.
Today, New Salem looks vastly different than it did when it relocated. While the church has an older traditional look from the outside, the church is undergoing a modern reformation. New Salem offers a unique casual worship feel combined with a coffeeshop style experience when you worship.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe that church isn't just about a building with a cross. It's about people's relationship with God and each other.
ABOUT GOD
We believe in one God who exists as three co-equal persons: Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit. We believe God is the ultimate authority, revealed through the Bible, that salvation is achieved through faith in Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit guides the Believer to follow Christ's instructions.
ABOUT HUMANITY
We believe that humanity is both made in God's image and inherently sinful, needing salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe in the fall of humanity, with all people being prone to sin, but also in God's grace and the potential for redemption through Christ.
ABOUT SALVATION
We believe salvation is a free gift from God, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone, and that it is not earned through works or good deeds. We also believe that every person has the capacity and responsibility to respond to the gospel message and choose to trust in Christ as Savior.
ABOUT THE CHURCH
We believe the church is a visible assembly of baptized believers, associated by covenant, observing ordinances, and exercising gifts and privileges outlined in the Bible. The church's mission, is to help people discover Jesus and deepen their personal relationship with Him.
ABOUT THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible is God's revealed word to humanity, containing no errors, and is the ultimate source of authority for faith and practice.
