Youth Ministry

The Student Ministry team here at West Salem Baptist exists to help and assist the parents in the discipleship of their youth aged children. We have a leadership team consisting of pastors, adult leaders and student leaders. Also aiding in the discipleship process is the implementation of a Sunday School curriculum that revolves around the gospel of Christ and His glory. This curriculum is designed to lead to the student’s growth in Christ, teach the students to take ownership of their faith, and to be involved in serving the Lord by serving His body.

Sundays 5:00 PM | 6th – 12th grade

Adult Discipleship

Sunday School

Groups meet on Sunday mornings from 9:15 am – 10:15 am, before the main worship service at 10:30 am. This is a time for learning and growing together in Christ and His word. We discuss how the Word of God impacts our lives as believers and how we apply it to daily lives. This is a place for newcomers to the church to get connected and plugged in to the life of the church and get to know one another better. There are a variety of classes to accommodate those of all ages seeking to be involved.

Small groups

Our small groups meet in the homes of members and provide a context for group discussion about the Sunday morning sermons.  The goal is to learn together and to help each other apply the word to our lives.  This is also an avenue for deep friendships to be formed and for the investing and weaving of lives together as brothers and sisters in Christ.

Bible Study

Bible studies are offered as an additional time to delve into the study of God’s word together. These studies are not just for intellectual knowledge but also as an avenue to know Christ more intimately and personally and to understand God’s will for us individually and as a church.

Weekly Studies

  • Morning Ladies Bible Study Tuesday 8:45 AM – 10 AM Rm 221
  • Women’s Bible Study Thursday 10:30 AM – 12 AM Rm 220
  • Men’s Bible Study Friday 6:30 AM – 7:30 AM– first and third Friday of every month

Music Ministry

Gretchen Shaffer, our pastor’s wife, leads worship.  She leads the singing alongside a praise team and a full praise band.  Each week, the music is selected with the sermon topic in mind to prepare us to receive the Word of God through the preaching, and to draw our hearts out to worship Christ in spirit and in truth. We sing a variety of well-known hymns of the faith as well as new songs that are strong in Biblical content.

Care Ministry
