Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church

About this church

Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church is a North Minneapolis congregation founded in 1895 and shaped by intergenerational worship, learning, fellowship, music, and neighborhood engagement. Holy Communion is part of every Sunday service. Children and adults learn together during the school-year Connection Hour, which uses the day’s biblical text, food, conversation, and creative activities to build relationships across ages. Online worship also keeps the service accessible beyond the building.

Sunday worship begins at 9:30 a.m. in person and online, with Communion each week. From September through May, Connection Hour follows worship at about 10:30. Fifth Sundays and special occasions can be different: Salem may worship with its sibling churches in the North Minneapolis Lutheran Parish, and the location or time should be obtained from the parish notice or church office. That exception matters for visitors who might otherwise arrive at the Dupont Avenue building and find a joint service elsewhere. Families can review the children’s page for the current Connection Hour season, and online visitors can follow the worship link from the homepage. Salem’s music and education staff support a service intended for multiple generations rather than separate age-based congregations.
