Youth Ministry (United Overcomers)
The United Overcomers Department of the Open Bible Standard Churches of Jamaica has the responsibility of promoting young people’s activities for the Association.
The purpose of the Mt Salem Open Bible Youth Department is to plan and promote spiritual programmes to save and conserve young people for the Kingdom of God. Its aim is to correlate the wisdom and leadership of our older brethren with the zeal and enthusiasm of youth, in harmony with the constitution of the Association.
At Mt Salem, our youth ministry features a weekly Thursday night service, geared towards promoting growth and knowledge among young Christians and providing a Christian perspective to the issues currently faced by young people. Our youth-lead ministry leads service on the 3rd Sunday of each month.
Youth Alive is a youth-lead initiative that uses the art forms of drama, dance, song and sign-language in ministry for the glory of God.
Men Of Vision Ministry
The purpose of Men of Vision in general is to promote the forming of fellowship groups among the men in Mt Salem Open Bible Church, with the end in view of coordinating the interest and assistance of men in the local church’s activities. This includes definite assistance for the Pastor’s in-church projects, personal witnessing to men for Christ, a paternal interest in and care for the boys of the church and participating in benevolent enterprises.
The vision of the Men’s department is to draw men into the kingdom of God and to teach them the ways of the Lord. Our aim is to allow the Holy Spirit to empower and guide them into becoming strong, respectable men within the society. The Men’s ministry also strives to be zealously involved in activities that bind us closer together, which include monthly prayer meetings, regularly-scheduled game nights, voluntary maintenance and upkeep of the Church facility every second Monday evening.
