Volunteers at Salem
Who We Are
At Salem, we are fortunate to have many people who volunteer to staff our various groups and committees, so that the work of the church can be done. This page is to give you a brief overview of the groups that we have and what each of them do. If you are interested in getting involved on a group or committee, see the pastor or someone on our Council.We are always looking for people who want to serve in this way.
