“Salem Ebenezer” means “peace” and “rock of help.” Our German Reformed ancestors found God’s peace and His constant rock of help as they established this congregation in 1848.
“Reformed” identifies us as members of the Reformed Church in the U.S. (RCUS), whose roots go back to the 16th Century Protestant Reformation. God raised up men like Luther, Zwingli, Knox, and Calvin, who reformed the Church according to the Word of God alone. They recaptured the eternal truths that Christ alone is our full Savior, Who saves us by grace alone through faith alone, all to the glory of God alone.
“Church” identifies us as a congregation of believers in a specific location, who have Jesus Christ as our Head and leader. Our authority in all matters comes from Him, through His teachings as found in the 66 books of the Holy Bible. Every word of these books is without error and inspired by God Himself.
Our Faith
Ours is a faith which knows that we need the Lord’s help. One thing every member has in common is that our sin and misery are great. Our only comfort in life and in death is that we are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. He paid the full price for our sins. Now He renews our hearts through His Holy Spirit, so that we can go forth and live lives that are thankful to God for our redemption. This is the basic message of God’s Word, and those holy words are faithfully summarized by our doctrinal standards: the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession and the Canons of Dort. These identify us as not only united to other congregations in our particular denomination, but to Christians throughout the ages who have understood the Biblical faith in terms of our precious Reformed doctrine.
Your Invitation
We invite you and urge you to join us as we worship and praise our awesome God each Lord’s Day. We have only one purpose in coming to you–to tell you of the salvation that God has given in Jesus Christ, so you too may have the peace and joy that God has given us. We are Christians today because someone, at some time, told us the Good News. For that same purpose we come to you.
Thank you for reaching out to us. We have been very blessed by SermonAudio on a number of levels. I appreciate your constant pursuit of excellence and including new features as well as keeping up with the fast paced world of ever changing technology. When we revamped our church’s website last year, it was such a relief that all we needed to do when it came to our messages and sermons was use the code SermonAudio provides and all our information from the SermonAudio site shows up on ours.
We especially appreciate the monthly download report. We put them up on our Church Bulletin board, and members do look at them closely. Guests come to our church because of SemonAudio.
One thing I have been encouraging our members to do is to share a favorite sermon with the Facebook or Twitter Link that is there on the sermon page. That increases our exposure (and yours) exponentially. While nobody has asked for it from our church, I wonder if SermonAudio has considered having a few more social media sharing options than just Facebook and Twitter? Just a suggestion for you to pass on.
Thank you again. We do pray for the outreach of our ministry through SermonAudio. We also will pray for you at SermonAudio who have done the very hard work behind the scenes to keep the technology working.
