Our Confession

Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church is a community formed by Jesus in Baptism and gathered around Scripture, Prayer, and the Eucharist. Through the Church Jesus seeks to draw all people to himself, forgiving their sins by his death on the cross and sanctifying them for a life of love for God and service to their neighbor.

We hold to the doctrinal tenets expressed in the historical creeds and confessions of the Christian faith as set down in the Book of Concord, 1580. We understand that God’s Word is eternal and eternally unchanging. That Word, revealed to us in the Holy Bible, is, of course, the sole foundation of our faith.
