What should I expect at 10 AM Sunday worship in church

Worship is at the center of our faith life at Salem and ALL are warmly welcomed, but we also respect your privacy. We won’t ask you to stand up and identify yourself as a visitor, and we won’t pounce on you as you come in or as you leave! 

Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church is a safe, loving place where everyone can explore a relationship with God, no matter where they are on their spiritual journey. 

You can expect to hear a compelling sermon instilled with a strong biblical foundation, and a focus on the gospel through singing hymns and using a traditional liturgy.  Our service includes old and new testament scripture readings, prayers, the creeds and Biblically-based sermons.   Pastor Cindy makes it relevant and inspiring for worshipper's.  Our worship service is a traditional expression of Christianity that include liturgies and hymns led by our restored Hinner organ and piano.   The focus is on the Lord and His grace, and singing and speaking of Scripture – God’s Holy Word.

During the service, offerings are received from those present.  As our guest, there is never an obligation to make an offering, but naturally your gifts are always welcome.

What should I wear?

Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. You’ll see that some people are in suits and dresses, some are “casual,” and others are in jeans. You’ll fit in no matter what!

Where do I park?

You have the option pf parking in the large lot on the East side of Church  or "street parking" on the South side of Church.

What about my kids?

All Children are always welcome at Salem Lutheran Church.

Will I be welcome if I come to communion?

We celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion on the first and third Sundays of the month and on the fifth Sunday of a five Sunday month, and with other announced schedules during Holy seasons. Salem Lutheran Church is committed to Eucharistic hospitality of Open Communion.  All baptized Christians who have been admitted to the Table in other traditions are invited to share the bread and wine of the sacrament. Lutherans traditionally receive both bread and wine in the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. At Salem Lutheran, the host or bread is in the form of an unleavened wafer, and the wine is administered in individual glasses.  Nonalcoholic white grape juice is also available for those who prefer it.

What should I expect at 9 AM Sunday School in church?

Adult Sunday School is held every Sunday morning at 9AM in the adult Sunday School Room off the sanctuary.  Youth and Children's Sunday School is held every Sunday Morning during the public school year in the Fellowship Hall, downstairs. 

What if I need level walking or wheelchair accessibility to the sanctuary?

You can use the ramp on the East side of the Church to safely enter from ground level to the Sanctuary.  We have a wheelchair in the Narthex for Church use.

Where is the front door?  There are two entrances into the Church Narthex that lead into the sanctuary.  The South double door entrance is at the top of series of steps leading into the Narthex.  The Red door on the East side of the Church can be accessed by either the steps or the ramp.
