Calvary Chapel Salem

After 2 years of online church we were done with the covid restrictions from our previous church, we were needing to get back to fellowship. This has become our new family church. This is a true Bible church (Studying the Bible, book by book, chapter by chapter). Very welcoming congregation. The youth group is more than a "social gathering " but they also study the Bible, which is hard to find these days in youth groups.

This is a church in my neighborhood. We noticed a sign a living nativity for a few nights. With the covid pall on everything, this sounded great. We didn't learn about the nativity until the last night. The sign we saw wasn't really 'in your face' and I had to really look to read it. I would recommend bigger signs for next year with days and times emphasized. We could walk or drive thru the nativity. We drove with lights off, which was difficult with our modern car and its safety system. There were multiple areas to view, with people in costume and scripture written out to emphasize that areas theme. Traffic and people were directed with safety in mind. Sometimes though we in the car couldn't really see what was going on in the area being looked at because people were chatting and laughing with the actors, blocking the view for others. There were live animals, donkeys, sheep and chickens. Brazier were keeping everyone warm in the cold night. Participants handed out candy canes. What we didn't see was someone taking an offering, so we handed some cash to one of the traffic directors. This was great for the neighborhood. Would like to see it better advertised next year, for longer, more nights. Great job.

Pastor Kelly really nice. Everyone so welcoming. Love the worship and weekly Lord's Supper available. For a small congregation they do a lot. 3 services provide space inside and they continue to broadcast to parking area.

My family. My heart. Just a bunch of sinners saved by grace racing toward God's heart and open arms. Come run with us!! 💗💞 Come as you are is truly lived out. I have never felt so much love from a body of Christ in my life. For me, a single divorced Mom and my kiddos this place is our lifeline. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. My cup runneth over.
