The Salem Presbyterian church was organized
and enrolled in the Presbytery in 1832 with 20
charter members. For the next 10 years
the congregation met in a harness shop
until a wooden frame building was
constructed and used until
1860, when the current block
stone and brick sanctuary
was built.
In 1938 a
large two story
brick building was erected east
of the sanctuary consisting of meeting
rooms, kitchen, classrooms and offices. The
sanctuary was remodeled with a new colonial bell tower,
new front entrance, new pews, choir loft and new Mohler organ.

In 1972, the renovation was completed in the sanctuary moving the choir to front facing, the organ moved to the west wall, ceiling replaced and brass light fixtures were installed. In the following years a kitchen upgrade, new heating and cooling system, handicapped ramp and lighted flagpole were installed. A gazebo located
in the Peace Garden, Preschool playground and extensive landscaping all combine to make an
oasis of hope and refuge in
the neighborhood.
What has been
constant over the years is
our congregation’s commitment to each
other, to mission and to Presbyterian doctrine.
Our building at the corner of Second and Lundy shines
as a beacon of light to the Salem community whose mission
remains to glorify God and enjoy him forever.
