Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in Salem Alliance Church.  We’re a community of people who are on a faith journey together. We’re all at different stages. None of us have “arrived.”  But together we’re experiencing the joy of entering into the love of Jesus.

I’m sure you will find this website helpful in answering many of your questions about us. But, if you can’t find something you are looking for, don’t hesitate to call our church office at 503.581.2129.

Shepherding Groups Community Groups

“Some things in life may change, but some things they stay the same.”

So the lyrics of the song state! The same is true of mid-sized groups at Salem Alliance. Beginning September 1, 2010, these groups will be known as Community Groups.

A new name, but they stay the same:

• A place to connect and build relationships

• A place of caring and support

• A place to learn and to grow in Jesus Christ

• A place from which to serve

• A place to experience community in Christ

The church family prayer team that meets on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm is taking a break for the summer.

You can also pick up a copy at the Prayer Board near the Reception Desk.
