About Salem
Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church
At Salem Lutheran we desire to be large enough to make a significant impact in evangelism and outreach, yet small enough to be intimate in prayer and a genuine faith community. We invite you to explore our website and join us in the sanctuary or virtual, as we strive to be the Body of Christ on Earth.
Prayer and Worship during 2022
Each Sunday Service will be streamed on Facebook Live at 10 a.m., and later in the day it will be on the Salem website (https://www.salemevangelicallutheran.church and the Salem You Tube channel. It will be scheduled to be shown on the Blue Valley Channel 3 cable channel at 2 p.m. Sunday. Please stay safe and protect yourselves and others.
We have continued in-person adult Sunday School at 9AM and Worship services beginning at 10 AM. on Sundays. We are not mandated in our county to wear protective masks, however, its your choice if you choose to do so, and to practice social distancing. Also, we will observe Holy Communion on the 1st and 3rd Sundays.

David Winquist, Interim Lay Minister 2022
Our previous Pastor Cindy Cone has left Salem in April 2022 to answer a Call at Christ Lutheran Church, Norfolk NE. During this period of transition, David Winquist, Salem congregation member and certified Lay Minister has accepted the request of the congregation to lead us in worship and service beginning in May 2022 while our Salem Call Committee works to Call a new Pastor. David Winquist is a lifetime member of the congregation. David has earned the designation of “Parish Ministry Associate” through religious studies in years previous. The purpose of the Parish Ministry Associate (PMA) program is to raise up and equip lay leaders who understand themselves to be servants of Christ and stewards of God's mysteries. As servants, they are obedient to Christ. As stewards of God's mysteries, they are responsible to care for and use the gifts given to them and to the church. PMA's are accountable to the church, and are called, trained, and equipped to work alongside rostered leaders to participate in God's mission to love and bless the world. PMAs may serve as leaders in their own congregations or in other congregations by providing pulpit supply or as Lay Ministry Leaders. David’s PMA credentials with the ELCA were transferred and accepted by our LCMC denomination. With the request and blessing by the Salem Church Council and the Congregation, David began a full-time lay ministry at Salem by conducting services and periodically arranging for supporting LCMC and other Lay Ministers to lead Church services.
