giving glory to god

Music at Salem

One of the great traditions at Salem is the music that is shared to the glory of God.  We welcome and encourage you to get involved and join us in our music ministry. Children through adults have the opportunity to get involved singing in choirs, playing instruments, and ringing handbells. These musical involvements enhance the messages of worship, reinforce the teachings of Jesus, and help everyone to get involved with our common mission.

Scroll down for specific information on all of the different ways you and your family can be involved with us! If you have any questions please contact us at contact@salemstcloud.org.
