We’re looking forward to integrating our young people into the life of the Church at Salem Lutheran Church. The life of the Church begins with the regular worship of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. At worship, the Good Shepherd begins to teach us and care for us, and from there we grow in the faith to love God, to love ourselves, and to love one another.
He is risen!
Reverend John D. Duke Jr., Pastor
