Wouldn't it be great if there were a church...
...that truly welcomes all people regardless of religious background, age, race or sexual orientation?
...that is grounded in a long and amazing history yet embraces current forms of inspiration and the cultivation of soul?
...that refuses to concede the Bible to mean-spirited and literal-minded interpretations and instead holds up the clarion calls for compassion and justice we hear in the scriptures?
...that encourages people to bring their whole selves to a service on Sundays and not simply check their brains at the door?
...with a long history of working for social change that actually speaks to the major issues of the day?
Well, there is a church like this, and we invite you to come check out our services and programs.
Welcome to the First Church in Salem!

We are proud of our history and excited by our present.
