We are a faith-family of Christians serving God.  We’re glad you’re looking at who we are and what we’re about. You will discover Salem is a warm, loving congregation with roots that run deep in the Newton/Rockdale community surrounding Salem (and we have several families who travel from more distant areas!).  As you browse through this site, we hope you will discover a church where you feel at home. If you are looking for a spiritual home, we invite you to visit. If you would like to know more about Salem and its missions and ministries, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to seeing you!

Your First Visit

Finding your way around any new place can be challenging, especially church. But here's what to expect, and where to find your places and your place at Salem.

PARKING
  • If you're coming to our 9:30 a.m. Bridge Service, park on the side or behind the largest building at the rear of our campus, the Family Life Center, where our contemporary service is held. Arrive anytime the half hour before to enjoy some coffee, juice, and pastries.
  • If you'll be worshiping with us in the Traditional Service at 11:00, there's parking on either side of the main sanctuary. And there's plenty of designated parking for visitors. Those needing handicap-access may wish to park in the lot to the right of the sanctuary; it has level walkways and an automatic door.
  • For Sunday School, classes are held in the Education Building, and best parking is at the front on either side.

CHILDREN
   Have an infant or young toddler?  Click here for information on nursery, Sunday School classes, Children's Church, etc.

YOUR FIRST VISIT TO THE BRIDGE SERVICE
    Held in the Family Life Center, hymns and praise songs are led by our worship band. Videos and AV projection enhance the theme and message of the day.

THE 11:00 SERVICE
    Held in the sanctuary, this service is in the traditional United Methodist pattern of worship, with a little bit of "blended worship" flavor. Hymns are sung from the hymnbook and also projected. There is a Children's Sermon time in the service, and then they may accompany our Children's Leaders for a Children's Learning Activities session; or they may return to sit with family.

RESTROOMS
   Everybody wants to know where the restrooms are! In the Family Life Center, you'll find them on the left just as you come through the foyer entrance to the building (Women's, on the left near the foyer; Men's on the left after entering the main room). From the sanctuary, they will be at the end of the hallway through the doors on either side of the front of the sanctuary. They are handicap-friendly!

Accessibility

  • Designated Handicap Parking on either side of the sanctuary and near the Family Life Center. To the right of the sanctuary, there is a  level walkway and an automatic door which opens with a button push.
  • There is a roomy area in sanctuary for parking or sitting in your wheelchair.
  • You'll feel at-home; several of our members at the 11:00 Service use wheelchairs, rollators, or canes. And worshipers feel comfortable "excusing themselves," then returning to the service.
  • Hymn words projected large on the front wall.
  • Hearing Assistance Devices available by asking an usher.
  • Communion brought to worshiper unable to come forward to receive.
  • Handicap-accessible restrooms.
  • Designated Handicap Parking for the Family Life Center, with a covered drop-off area with level entry.
  • Elevator for second-floor accessibility in Family Life Center; most of the rest of the buildings are one-story.
