WHAT
WE’RE
ABOUT
We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation.
Here at Salem Lutheran Church, we welcome all who are seeking God’s love and grace. We welcome all because God welcomes all, regardless of age, race or culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, or relationship status.
We welcome all without regard to abilities, addictions, physical or mental health, imprisonment, socio-economic circumstances, or anything that too often divides us. We celebrate together our unity as God’s people. Salem is a place for each person to shine in their own unique gifts.
You Belong Here.
Worship with us now, online.
As a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, we take God’s call personally. When we say we are “living a hospitality of heart, hands, and hope,” we mean that we will use our voices in public witness and our hands to feed, care, and advocate for our neighbors-locally or globally. We are a place of welcome diversity. We see God reflected in the faces around us and we are an RIC congregation (Reconciling in Christ).
Everything about Salem centers around the same hospitality that Jesus practiced—one of radical inclusion and extravagantly expressed love.
Founded in 1895, Salem is also an inter-generational church. We believe strongly that regardless of age, we enjoy learning from each other.
We invite you to come and check out Salem, either online or in person when you can. We look forward to meeting you soon!
Salem is part of the North Minneapolis Lutheran Parish, sharing Pastor Deanna Kim Bassett and Interim Pastor Rich Gianzero.
