CommUNITY Church

About this church

CommUNITY Church in Salem starts Sunday Bible study at 9:45 a.m.; worship follows at 11. Children's Church runs during the 11 a.m. service with screened volunteers and teaching centered on Scripture and the gospel. Wednesday offers Bible study at 10 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.; children's ministry also meets during the evening session. The morning-and-evening study options make the midweek program accessible to different schedules, while the Sunday sequence allows visitors to attend education before worship.

This conservative Southern Baptist congregation was founded by Thomas McCracken in 2005 and held its first service that July in donated office space. The church remains connected with the Southern Baptist Convention, Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia, and Roanoke Valley Baptist Association. Its mission is to make disciples and demonstrate Christ's love in specific ways so people know they are important, loved, and wanted. Mission work includes the Salem Food Pantry, World Changers, international missionaries, and wider Baptist partnerships. The public site describes worship as meaningful, fellowship as inviting, and preaching as practical for Christian life. A first-time family can use the 9:45 class-to-worship sequence; children participate through the separate 11 a.m. program, and Wednesday families should choose between the adult morning study and the evening study with children's ministry.
