The United Baptist Church of Christ at Salem met for the first time to worship our Father God on November 16, 1844, and sitting in conference, opened the doors of the church for reception of those making commitments to Christ and seeking membership. Elizabeth Bain and William Kelley related an experience and were received. This was our beginning. An arm of the Cheohee Baptist Church helped with our organization. The preamble and by-laws were drawn up and adopted in the summer of 1845. One of the early actions of the church was to send a group to help constitute a church at the Cheohee Muster Ground on October 18, 1845, which was in preparation for the coming Civil War. Many individuals have come and gone, and we continue to be blessed by each one who has passed our way during these many years. Several churches in our area requested help in their establishment. Many have been ordained or licensed and served Jesus as a result of our body of believers. Many have served the church well as pastor, deacon, teacher, missions leader, worker, etc. Each has blessed us here and we pray we, The Church, have blessed them too. The following ministers have served our body: J. Chandler, W. Morton, L. Findley, John Owens, Steven Powell, D. Hudson, L.R.L. Flemmings, Elder D. Hudson, John Ariel, W.W. Reid, Jonathan King, Elder C. Roper, J.B. Colley, Daniel Littleton, W.M. Walker, J.H. Clark, R.W. Kelley, C.R. Abercrombie, R.F. Jones, Elijah Littleton, J.E. Burt, A.C. Harrison, Wade Nicholson, A.L. Sanders, Rufus Mitchell, O.F. Owens, R.W. McKinney, M.B. Alexander, J.M. Haulbrooks, Roy Murphree, Vergil Merck, E.T. McLane, Robert Harden, Roy Littleton, C.E. Taylor, Donald L. Vaughn, Roy Spearman, and Donald L. Vaughn. Thirty-two persons made professions of faith during revival in October 1994, while Evangelist Paul Flemming was here with 22 of them baptized into our church. This is where we are today. 11 Chronicles 7:14 says, "If My people which are calling by My name, shall humble themselves and pray and turn their wicked ways and seek My face, then will I hear from heaven and will heal their land". Our Salem Baptist Family took God at His promise; we see what He has done and is doing and continue to praise His holy name. Our Hundred and Fifty Year Old and Growing is real to us here in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost! "To God Be all Glory - and all of God's people at Salem Baptist said 'Amen'!"
