Salem’s Mission and Vision Statements are perfect guides to help us engage with one another and the broader community.  We have new work to do right here in our own church, with our Peoria neighbors, and in collaboration with synod and global partners.  There is much to be done as we engage more fully in the work that God gives us with joy and peace filling us to overflowing, so that we may abound in hope, empowered by God’s Spirit.
