We may be over a hundred years old, but our thinking is not. We are proudly a Just Peace and Open and Affirming congregation for LGBTQ folks. In 2006 we became the first congregation in Minnesota to vote for Marriage Equality for all couples and discontinue legal wedding ceremonies until all couples could be married in Minnesota in August 2013. Our legacy of justice and healing work continues through our Center for Sustainable Justice, where our ministry most recently focuses on #BlackLivesMatter.

Salem English Lutheran was one of the first Lutheran congregations of its kind west of Chicago to worship in the English language. While other Lutheran congregations were deeply tied to specific ethnic backgrounds and languages (such as Norwegian, German, Swedish, and Danish), from its start Salem was a congregation of diverse backgrounds. This diversity and a desire to worship in the language of the neighborhood is still part of Salem’s calling. As the neighborhood has evolved, Salem strives to speak the “language” of our area and offer an authentic way of being Christian.
The Salem congregation began in 1890. By 1904, parts of the current facility were built with significant additions added every few decades. Most recently, of course, was the renovation that created the SpringHouse Ministry Center. Prior to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Salem was part of the Lutheran Church in America.
