Congregational Mission Statement:

Seeking Friendship with God...

We gratefully acknowledge the gifts of God's grace among us:

• A rich diversity of people;
• A link with the Mennonite Church, past and present;
• A name -- Salem -- meaning shalom, peace;
• A location, at a state line, a symbol of the diversity and the reconciliation to which God has called us.

We are a people being called into reconciliation with God, through Christ and the Holy Spirit; we seek to respond in worship.

We are a people being called into reconciliation with each other; we seek to respond with mutual care and nurture.

We are a people being called to share God's reconciliation in our worlds; we seek to respond by actively encouraging people to become friends with God.

Scriptures drawn upon: II Cor. 5: 11-21; Matt. 28: 16-20
