Session asks everyone to use discretion regarding masks and social distancing. If you are unvaccinated for any reason, please consider your own safety plus the safety of others and wear a mask.
WELCOMING YOU HOME
Even if some continue to distance physically, know we are together spiritually!
At First Presbyterian Church of Salem, “our” ministry really is “our” ministry! Presbyterians believe that no one person has all the knowledge or skills that are needed to serve Jesus Christ in the way we want to serve him. We believe that we make the best decisions when we make them in conversation with one another. In fact, we believe that the Holy Spirit speaks to us most clearly as we listen to each others’ viewpoints.
ABOUT OUR FAITH
We have been connecting people to the heart of God since 1832. Our goal is to inspire you through the holiness of our dwelling and prayer services. Become a part of our growing congregation in Salem.
OUR MINISTRY
There’s a lot going on in our busy church and we know it can be tricky to navigate the first time you come here. Feel free to get in touch to find out more and to discover how to make the most of your initial visit for you and your family. We can’t wait to meet you.
INTERIM PASTOR
Pastor David Houdeschell
THE HEART OF FPC
At First Presbyterian Church of Salem, we pursue the Glory of God through worship, ministry, giving and education. We strive to connect with Jesus Christ and to each other, in order to magnify His name.

“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord,
and he will repay him for his deed.”
[Proverbs 19:17]
The Pastor Nominating Committee has completed a draft of the Ministry Information Form (MIF) for Session review at its regular meeting on Thursday, April 15. The MIF is a collaborative effort with the PNC and Session to provide potential candidates for pastor with a clear view of the church’s sense of mission, its strengths and weakness, its resources and needs, as well as the gifts a new pastor should bring to her/his ministry.
Once the MIF is reviewed, revised, and approved by the Session, it is ready to go to the Committee on Ministry of Eastminster for its review and approval. The Ministry Information Form is an extremely important document. Once the MIF is sent to the General Assembly, it becomes visible to ministers and seminary graduates, providing a first impression for those who are searching for a new opportunity for ministry.
Please pray for our Pastor Nominating Committee to search judiciously for our new pastor by discerning the will of God.
Members of the Pastor Nominating Committee: Brenda Bradley, Ken Double, Paul Fennema, Kirk Hofmeister, Ruth Newman, Gloria Shafer, and Sue Skiba. Dan Schomer, Moderator of Session
