WELCOME TO SALT CHURCH
Salt Church is a nondenominational church in Hampstead, serving the greater Wilmington area.
We exist to worship Jesus, know Him, and do the works He did.
We gather to pursue His presence, grow in God's Word, and equip one another to live out our faith.
A PEOPLE OVERFLOWING WITH LIFE
We see a people who know Jesus deeply, walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, and make disciples who make disciples.
Our desire isn't simply to gather a crowd, but to see lives transformed, families restored, and the Gospel carried into our neighborhoods, workplaces, and nations.
MEET THE GREENS
Parker and Jessi are the founders and lead pastors of Salt Church.
Called from Southern California to the Hampstead and Wilmington area of North Carolina, they carry a deep passion for Jesus and a desire to help others know Him.
Their heart is to equip people to worship Jesus, follow Him wholeheartedly, and do the works He did.
WHAT WE BELiEVE
We believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we can be forgiven, set free, and restored to relationship with God.
We believe the Bible is the perfect and authoritative Word of God, and that the finished work of Jesus still has the power to save and transform lives today.
We believe the Holy Spirit is actively working through His Church, empowering believers with spiritual gifts, miracles, and boldness to continue the mission of Jesus until He returns.

WHAT SHAPES US:
The purpose of the church is to worship God, equip the saints, and reach the world, in that order. Jesus is the head of his church and has delegated his authority through gifts to the “5 fold” ministry in order to continue in his mission to equip the saints for the work of the ministry.

Hold to the Truth
Act like men, stand firm
There is a vacuum of truth in our society. We must remember that God does not just tell the truth or deliver the truth, but he is the Truth. Regardless of our lived experience and opinion, God stands alone as the truth and giver of true justice.
We commit to a culture of living and telling the truth in humility under a God who set the universe in motion. This means that in all that we do, from song lyrics, to art, to preaching, what we teach our children, and in our personal relationships and business; will be truthful as God has set out in his word. Truth is our default, not a secondary or peripheral issue. ext goes here

Do everything as if for the Lord and not for man
Excellence does not just mean “a really great service”. Excellence should and can pervade all aspects of culture. Including but not limited to our worship, preaching, teaching, service, family life, and very importantly our words and actions. Everything that we do is before the eyes of
God. We aim to build a culture and a church, that when under the watchful eye of the head of the church, Jesus; what we build would be deemed precious metal, not hay and straw.

It is for freedom Christ has set us free
He whom the Son sets free is free indeed
Christ has set us free from the law of sin and death that once dwelt in our flesh. In our church context that means in all we aim to do we will continue to do the work of Christ to destroy the works of the devil in people’s minds and hearts. We do not ascribe to a God in heaven who is a therapist that makes you simply feel good, but one who wants to set us free from the slavery of our own wrong thoughts and motivations.
God has set us free, so we take seriously the responsibility of that freedom and to give that to others as they encounter the word and the presence of God.

Fun and celebrating a win is a christian warriors best form of gratitude to God.
When we win, we’ll shout it from the rooftops. When you win, everyone wins and we will vocally celebrate that. God calls us to be overcomers and not victims, and overcoming and endurance individually and corporately will be celebrated.
Having fun and claiming victories is worship, not pride. Let’s have fun, that’s an order…

Knowing that every single human being is living in a difficult world with challenges all their own, laughter is the best medicine.
Taking yourself too seriously is not a fruit of the Spirit and won’t be treated as one. Being able to both take and bring laughter to the church is a gift that softens difficult conversations, opens the hearts and minds of those receiving the word, curbs offense, and generally makes life a lot better.

The mark of Jesus' Church gathering together and how each member of the body lives their individual lives is the awareness and intentional pursuit of His presence.
Resulting in His power being manifest in miracles, signs, and wonders; as well as His people individually, and corporately, being formed into His image and bearing the fruit (action and result) of the life, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ.
Especially the most enduring traits of faith, hope, and love.
DONT FOLLOW JESUS ALONE
Following Jesus was never meant to be done alone.
Through Kinship, we gather in homes throughout the week to grow in God's Word, build genuine relationships, pray for one another, and learn to live as disciples of Jesus.
