Through your contributions, we’re able to share the message of our faith to our congregation and the larger community.

Often times when a loved one dies, there are gifts made in their memory. Memorial gifts that are received are tracked, and then a list is sent to the family so they may share their thanks. Through consultation with the Pastor, there may be some specific area, need, or item that would be most helpful to the church and its ministry that the family would like to designate. Memorials and gifts are never used for the operating budget of the church.
If someone simply wishes to make a gift, the best way to begin is to have conversation with the Pastor. It may then be determined where best it could be used. Many people in making out their wills will designate the church in a specific way, thereby relieving the family from having to work through that process.
The purpose of Salem’s Endowment Fund is to use a portion of the income (per the by-laws) gained from the principle to support special ongoing ministry needs. It may be scholarships or mission work or some benevolence, etc. There are trustees who oversee the operation and records of the endowment fund.
