Music ministries have a long history at Salem Church, from it Moller four-manual pipe organ, installed in 1925, to its Schantz two-manual organ of 34 ranks, installed in 2009, to the voices of the adult, youth and children choirs as well as the sounds from handbells and a grand piano. Music is a vital part of our worship.
We seek to incorporate a variety of music through choirs, hymns and solo music, from contemporary to traditional. The Salem music staff is committed to inspiring choirs to develop their musical gifts to the best of their ability to the glory of God. Music is incorporated in Vacation Bible School programming, the chirldren’s Christmas play, Sunday School and special events throughout the year. We welcome anyone to join Salem’s music ministry as we share our love for music.
