The Mission
In the heart of the city, the Church of Salvation stands not merely as a structure of stone and stained wood, but as a vital heartbeat pulsing through the community. Its doors are gateways to transformation—not only spiritual, but tangible, impacting lives on a profound scale.
The church's mission is simple yet profound: to guide every soul toward a transformative journey, as echoed in Acts 2:38, ensuring that individuals not only aspire to heavenly reunions but also thrive in their earthly lives. Here, faith transcends prayer; it manifests in deeds that resonate across the city.
Our outreach extends vigorously through programs like "For I was," a unique initiative underpinned by our identity as the city’s only black-led outreach effort dedicated to eradicating homelessness. In just two years, over 100 lives have been uplifted from the streets into stable or temporary sanctuaries —a testament to the program's effectiveness in fostering lasting change.
The integration of business acumen with spiritual growth marks another cornerstone of our mission. We endeavor to show how spirituality and business ethics can coalesce in the marketplace, fostering a community where commerce thrives on principles of integrity and fairness. This initiative not only enhances the economic vitality of our community but also elevates the moral compass of our business practices.
Yet, this is just the dawn. As we press forward, every stride we take, every life we touch, honors the Most High. Our actions are prayers in motion, our outreach a sermon without words, as we live out the wisdom and compassion of God's teachings. In doing so, we not only aim to illuminate paths but to create a family where everyone, irrespective of their past or present, can find a beacon of hope and a place of belonging. This is our commitment, our mission, our promise—to shine God’s infinite love across our community and beyond, making The Church of Salvation a cornerstone of hope and transformation.

following the way
“Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:5-6 KJV
“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” John 3:1-7 KJV
“Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:13-17 KJV
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” Acts 2:38-39 KJV
“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Acts 2:1-4 KJV
“While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.” Acts 10:44-48 KJV
“he said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.”
Acts 19:2-6 KJV
