Sunday Mornings at Salem
Relaxed and inspiring, our Sunday mornings are designed for the entire family to grow in Christ and in our community of faith.
Sunday school is from 9:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m.
Worship begins at 10:30.
Come as you are — really!
What to Expect
What should I wear?
At Salem, you’ll find a mix—some dressed up, others more casual. Wear what’s comfortable for you. We believe what matters most is the heart you bring, not the clothes you wear. So come as you are—and sit with us.
What about the kids?
We at Salem follow Safe Sanctuary procedures to ensure the safety and well-being of all children in our care. All nursery staff and children’s volunteers are background checked and trained.
Nursery: For babies and toddlers, we have a loving nursery staffed by two or more people. Children are checked in and out by their parents or guardians.
Children in Worship: We welcome preschoolers and school-aged children to attend our worship service in its entirety as well. Activity Bags are available for any children who attend — just ask an usher!
Children’s Moment: We do something special here at Salem! Children are encouraged to bring a bag containing a small item. The Pastor will choose a bag without knowing what’s inside and create a Children’s Moment on the spot, relating it to that day’s sermon. Bring something and see if you can stump the Pastor! 😄
What do I do when I get there?
We would love to greet you in our Welcome Center! It is located just inside the double doors on the right-hand side of our larger parking lot. Inside, you will find a greeter and an usher who will be happy to assist you from there.
We won’t lie — this tends to be a pretty busy and joyful place just before worship begins, so come a few minutes early and enjoy the energy!
What accessibility accommodations do you offer?
Our building is fully accessible. Accessible parking spaces are available in our larger parking lot near the Welcome Center (double-door) entrance.
There are ramps to every area of the building. We also have a lift to assist persons entering the choir and pulpit areas.
We provide hearing assistance devices for those with hearing loss and large print hymnals for those with vision limitations. Please ask any usher or greeter for either of those — we are happy to help!
How long is your worship service?
Typically, our services fit within an hour, ending around 11:30 a.m.

Church on the Lake begins June 7, 2026
Beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings in the summer, Salem’s Church on the Lake is a beautiful way to worship outdoors. We gather early to sing together, hear God’s word, and enjoy meaningful fellowship. Surrounded by God’s creation, we celebrate God’s presence and the beauty of God’s world.
Come early for coffee, donuts, and conversation!
Join us at Woodmen of the World, 2000 Johnson Marina Road. We look forward to seeing you each summer!
