Growth Groups

Growth Groups at Salem provide a way to get to know our faith family while also growing closer to Jesus.

Groups consist of 8-12 people who meet 2-4 times per month to dig deeper into the sermon text, pray together, study God’s Word, and discuss how it applies to life.

They are designed to be a place where you can foster meaningful friendships and mature in faith as you are gathered in Christian fellowship around the Word of God. No matter your background or level of biblical knowledge, this is a place of connection and growth!

If you are new to Salem, your first step is to connect with a pastor to join our next Bible basics group.

If you are already a member looking to get connected with a Growth Group, email growthgroups@salemlutheran.org. Don’t see what fits your needs? Contact us! New groups can be formed mid-season.

Youth Group • Sunday Morning Study 9:15am • In-person • Grades 7-12

Middle school and high school is a time where students begin to think more deeply about faith and life. A time when young people often ask questions about what they have been taught to believe. At Salem we welcome those questions! Salem’s Youth Group is a space where students can connect with their peers, be able to ask honest questions about their faith, and learn about Jesus and how to apply His teachings to their lives. Youth Group meets Sunday mornings for Bible study and separately once a month for service and/or social activities.
