Enlarging the Reputation of Jesus
“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)
At New Salem, we sponsor a variety of opportunities to love people and preach Jesus in our community, both inside and outside the walls of our buildings. Here are some examples:
HaCoBa Care
New Salem regularly sends teams of volunteers to the HaCoBa Care ministry center in Chattanooga s St. Elmo neighborhood, where they help box food for needy families and share Jesus with HaCoBa Care clients. If you are free during the day on the 3rd or 4th Tuesday of each month, and you feel called to help hungry people, contact New Salems church office to find out how you can get involved in this important ministry.
Good News Club
In partnership with Child Evangelism Fellowship, New Salem sponsors a “Good News Club” at Allen Elementary School. This club meets each Tuesday afternoon after school, and is open to any Allen student whose parents/guardians have given permission. Participating kids enjoy songs, games, and Bible lessons with our carefully screened and trained volunteers.
Trunk or Treat!
Every Fall, New Salem’s Children’s ministry hosts a Trunk or Treat to give our community’s families a safe, positive place to participate in the usual holiday festivities. This year’s Trunk of Treat will take place on Sunday afternoon, October 29, from 3-5 PM. Bring the kids and enjoy the decorated displays, free candy, and popcorn!
New Salem Sportsman’s Ministry
Soddy Daisy is surrounded with natural beauty, and New Salem has a ministry designed for those who enjoy the outdoors. In addition to our annual Sportman’s Fish Fry, we also have a Bible Study group made up of anglers and hunters that meets every Sunday morning at 9:30 AM. Throughout the year our Sportsman’s ministry also gets together for impromptu fishing tournaments, cookouts, and other opportunities for fellowship. For more information, call (423) 842-3078, or use the contact form to request more information.
New Salem Basketball Camp
Every summer New Salem offers a free, 4-day basketball camp for kids entering grades 3-8. This daycamp experience offers instruction on basketball fundamentals, scrimmage opportunities, an emphasis on character development and sportsmanship, and a daily Bible study.
Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School is a summer tradition at New Salem! VBS offers kids ages 3-grade 5 a chance to learn about Jesus in a fun, interactive way through Bible lessons, music, crafts, games and more.
