Welcome From Our Pastor & First Lady

Where Everybody’s Somebody and Jesus Christ Is Lord!

At Greater Salem, our mission is simple: to make disciples for Jesus Christ — one heart at a time, one family at a time. We believe in authentic worship, Biblical teaching, and community service that transforms lives.

Whether you’re seeking a church home, spiritual growth, or just exploring your faith, we invite you to come experience the love of Christ in a powerful and personal way.



We are a Christ-centered community, committed to worship, discipleship, and service.



You are welcome here — no matter your past, your story, or your season of life.

We’re honored to serve, to uplift, and to grow with you.

- Rev. Dr. Virgil Hill & First Lady Vonda Hill

WHY PEOPLE CONNECT WITH US

A Church That Serves Family and Community

We’re more than a place of worship — Greater Salem is a hub for spiritual growth, service, and community impact. Whether you’re looking to grow, lead, give, or belong, there’s a place for you here.



Congregational Care

We believe in caring for the whole person — spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Our Congregational Care Ministry offers prayer, encouragement, hospital visits, bereavement support, and consistent connection for members during life’s most difficult and transitional moments. You are never alone at Greater Salem.



Youth & Family

Our youth are not the church of tomorrow — they are the church of today. The Youth & Family Ministry provides a safe and faith-filled environment where children and teens grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Through Bible study, mentorship, events, and creative expression, we equip the next generation to lead with courage, character, and conviction.



Music & Worship

Worship is more than music — it’s the heartbeat of our faith community. Our Music & Worship Ministry leads spirit-filled praise experiences that usher us into God’s presence. Through traditional hymns, contemporary gospel, and dynamic worship services, we cultivate an atmosphere where hearts are lifted and lives are changed.



Unity in the Community

We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Our Unity in the Community Ministry organizes local outreach efforts that serve meals, provide clothing, and support families in need. Through partnerships and neighborhood engagement, we build bridges, restore hope, and reflect the love of Christ beyond our walls.
