​​​Serving Christ in the City Since 1873

Sanctuary Update

On June 18, a roofing truss failed in our beautiful 153-year-old sanctuary. The truss failure brought down a large portion of the sanctuary ceiling. Along with the roof, the entire interior of our sanctuary is undergoing repair work and cleaning. While our insurance will cover much of the work, we still anticipate expenses to the church. We are a small congregation in a large building, working hard to keep our mission in the city of Rochester, where we see the greatest need. Our Nutrition Center has been feeding the needy in Rochester for over 40 years. Without the income generated by our sanctuary, all Salem's missions (current and future) will suffer. Any financial help is greatly appreciated!

Our ministry includes worship, education, pastoral care and service. We know that God is still at work in the world. Our own congregation is just one example of God's ongoing presence. We believe that our relationship to Christ is experienced most fully in church, and realized in our community.

Christ is working among us.

We believe that our congregation exists as a community for others. We do not live for ourselves alone, but in service to Jesus Christ in this city.
