Everyone is Welcome at
New Salem Lutheran Church!
Whoever you are and wherever you find yourself on the journey of faith -- you are welcome here just as you are.
New Salem offers children, families and adults a Christian education at ALL levels through worship services, milestone celebrations, Sunday School activities, Confirmation and Bible Study.
Sunday Morning Worship Services (9:30 a.m.): Our Sunday morning worship brings us together as a diverse, cross-generational and inclusive community of faith to give praise, pray, learn from God's word, celebrate milestones (such as the Blessing of the Backpacks and Presentation of Bibles to our 3rd graders) and the sacraments of Communion and Holy Baptism.
W.A.M.M. Wednesdays: Beginning on September 15, New Salem will host W.A.M.M. (Worship Activities, Making Memories) Wednesday for all ages. The evening will start with a light supper at 5:45 p.m., followed by activities (Confirmation class, Sunday School activities for Pre-K - Grade 6, choir practice, Bible study) from 6:30-7:30 p.m. There is something for everyone - come share this opportunity to grow in faith together!
Monday Morning Bible Study (9:30 a.m.): This course delves into the Bible passages presented at the subsequent Sunday worship service. It invites participants to deepen their spiritual lives and live as disciples of Jesus Christ.
Just as Jesus called his first disciples, we too, invite you to “come and see” (John 1:39) us here at New Salem Lutheran Church. Everyone is welcome; we hope to see you soon!
New Salem Lutheran Church is a place for children, youth and adults to hear the Bible story and to be reminded of their identity and belonging as God's child. It is a place for us to grow in the knowledge of God's love. It is a place where we use and discover our gifts as we learn how to be disciples of Jesus. Please visit the "ministries" page where we share the opportunities available through New Salem's faith community.
We are guided by the Word and our Mission Statement and Guiding Principles.
