Hello, my name is Pastor James E. Clark Jr. and I want to welcome you to New Salem Baptist. We believe you will feel like you’re at home here and we want you to sit back and get to know us. We believe in one mantra, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, only Jesus. He is the only thing that matters and we believe He changes lives. No perfect people are allowed here at New Salem just those who are seeking to know Jesus, love Jesus, and serve Jesus so that they can share Jesus. We believe the Bible is our authority and Jesus is God in the flesh. That He died for our sins according to Scriptures, He was buried, and that He rose on the third day according to Scriptures. We hold to a Trinitarian view of God in three distinct persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit.
We believe in His return, the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is doing so many wonderful things here at New Salem and we are amazed at the lives He is changing. We are all about family with one Father here at New Salem and we would like to extend an invitation to you to become a part of this family as well.
