Pastor's Greeting
On behalf of the congregation of the Port Salerno Church of God, I want to thank you for visiting our website. Whether it’s your first time or you’ve recently become part of our family, we want to welcome you and help you look for ways to get more involved.
Here at the Port Salerno Church of God, we are more than just a group of people gathering for services. We are family devoted to worshiping, praising, and serving the Lord. We vehemently believe that the whole Bible is completely and equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God. We are driven to win the lost at any cost. We are passionate about deepening our relationship with our Savior Jesus Christ.
Invitation to Discipleship
Acts 16:31-34
If you do not know Jesus as your Savior, let me invite you to take a step of faith and allow Him to be Lord over your life, today. A relationship with God is unlike any relationship you will ever experience. Your life will never be the same.
Please enjoy our website as you learn more about us. We hope you will visit one of our worship services soon so that we can get to know you. We believe you will feel welcome and at home.
Yours in Christ,
Bishop Glenford E. Hutchinson
Senior Pastor
