Pastors & Staff

Andrew Hise

Lead Pastor 

Andrew and his wife, Megan, come from South Central Virginia where God connected them through their love for Jesus and ministry. They have a beautiful family with one boy named Ezra and a girl, Lucy.

Andrew and Megan moved to Sneads Ferry in the Summer of 2025 to join the Salem Baptist Church Family. Andrew's primary roles at Salem are preaching, leadership development, discipleship, outreach and keeping the vision in front of the church.

David Elam

Youth Minister

David was raised in a Christian home and influenced early by his grandfather, a Baptist minister. He accepted Christ at 12 and preached his first sermon at 16. After earning degrees in Religion and Philosophy from Carson Newman College, he continued his theological studies at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he was ordained and served as Minister of Youth.

Though his career path led him into sales, he has remained active in ministry. Now, he is excited to return to his calling as Minister of Youth at Salem, serving alongside his wife, Amy, to help students grow in their faith and walk with Christ.

Shortly thereafter, she began volunteering in the church office and was appointed Secretary Assistant in May 2024. In August 2024, she transitioned into the role of Secretary and Church Clerk. She considers it a blessing to serve in this capacity and looks forward to each day as an opportunity to support the ministry and mission of Salem Church.
