Ministries
Salem Family Ministries exists to see lives transformed by the power of God’s Word and Spirit. Through marriage, men’s and women’s ministry, we walk together—two by two—to bring hope, healing, and restoration to families and to the nations.
Marriage Enrichment
God created marriage to reflect His love and unite two hearts as one. Marriage Enrichment is about building strong foundations, deepening intimacy, and walking in God’s design for a lasting covenant.
We offer teaching, events, and resources that help couples grow in communication, faith, and purpose—so their marriage becomes a testimony of God’s grace to the world.
Men’s Ministry / Harry Salem
Harry carries a unique perspective forged through personal loss—at age ten, he lost his father to cancer and was given the mandate to become “the man of the house.” That defining moment created both tremendous pressure and profound insight: a boy who needed a father suddenly had to become what his father never had the chance to fully teach him.
This experience has given Harry a special understanding and revelation to reach a generation of men who either grew up fatherless or are now navigating that vacancy in their lives.

In 1999, Harry and Cheryl walked through every parent’s worst nightmare when their 6-year-old daughter, Gabrielle, went to heaven from an inoperable brain tumor. Rather than retreat from ministry, they leaned in—with an increased passion for restoration, strengthening families, and bringing souls to Jesus in this urgent hour.
Their church services overflow with testimonies of healing and salvation, as they speak truth that liberates and demonstrate a joy that heals.
Whether ministering in an intimate gathering or speaking before multitudes, Harry and Cheryl are the same behind the pulpit as they are behind the curtain—what you see is what you get. They’ve ministered across many platforms—unmoved by crowds or cameras, moved only by the heart of God.
Together, Harry and Cheryl have authored more than 40 books with a mission to “go two by two reaching souls one by one.”
Family at the Heart
Family is everything to Harry and Cheryl. They married in 1985, each finding the love of their life in the other, and treasure every moment with their two sons, Harry III, Roman, their daughter-in-love Stephanie (Roman’s wife), and their grandchildren, Mia Gabrielle and Roman Harry.
Women’s Ministry / Cheryl Salem
FORGED THROUGH LOSS
Growing up in rural Mississippi, the milkman, Mr. Horton, would repeatedly tell 5 year-old Cheryl: “One day, little girl, you’re going to be Miss America.” And she believed him. But at age 11, a devastating car crash that crushed her left leg and broke her back seemed to say that would never happen. Doctors said she’d never walk again— until a cocoon of bone miraculously formed around the 32 crushed bones. Though her left leg remained two inches shorter, while everyone thought this 11-year-old was delusional, she held onto Mr. Horton’s words like a promise from God. Turns out, it was.
At seventeen, Cheryl stepped forward for healing at a Kenneth Hagin meeting, and God grew her leg out two inches right there. And five years later, the word from God through the milk man was fulfilled: Cheryl walked the Miss America runway with two perfect legs and took the crown—a walking miracle declaring to the world: nothing is impossible with God.
The crown gave Cheryl a global platform, and she used every moment of it to share Jesus. When her reign ended in the fall of 1980, she launched into full-time evangelistic ministry—and hasn’t stopped since. For over four decades, her mission has remained: bring people to Jesus and equip believers to know Him intimately.
Cheryl married Harry Salem, the love of her life, in 1985. By 1993, they were ministering together as Salem Family Ministries. But in 1999, their six-year-old daughter, Gabrielle, went to heaven from an inoperable brain tumor. Rather than let grief silence them, they turned their loss into Kingdom gain—Gabrielle’s life became a seed that would produce a harvest the enemy could never stop. With fierce passion, they continue to bring souls to Jesus, going two by two to reach souls one by one.
To Cheryl, worship isn’t optional—it’s oxygen. Through her worship and healing training schools and 5-book & workbook curriculum, she equips believers to become worshipers who walk in intimacy with the Father and minister healing to others.
Cheryl knows the power of a praying woman. As founder of Women of The Nation, she mobilizes thousands of women from coast to coast in unified intercession for America, stewarding the spiritual authority God entrusted to her as Miss America—standing in the gap for this nation in this critical hour.
Cheryl’s prophetic worship—captured in live events and studio recordings—flows from The Secret Place where she’s spent countless hours with the Father.
That same intimacy has birthed over forty books in English and Spanish—written both with Harry and individually—words born from fire, equipping others to stand, fight, and believe.
Cheryl holds an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity from Heritage University and Seminary, was named Mississippi State University Alumnus of the Year, and became the first MSU Music Department Hall of Fame inductee.
Family at the Heart
God’s restoration is most visible in Cheryl and Harry’s family: sons Harry III and Roman, their daughter-in-love Stephanie, and grandchildren Mia Gabrielle and Roman Harry. They’re living proof that God restores what the enemy meant to destroy. Cheryl’s message carries holy fire: Jesus is coming soon. Be ready!
Jesus Is Coming
to bring hope, healing and restoration to a world in need.
We exist to tell the world that He is returning
and we must all be found ready.
