Growth Groups at Salem provide a way to get to know our faith family while also growing closer to Jesus.
Groups consist of 8-12 people who meet 2-4 times per month to dig deeper into the sermon text, pray together, study God’s Word, and discuss how it applies to life.
They are designed to be a place where you can foster meaningful friendships and mature in faith as you are gathered in Christian fellowship around the Word of God. No matter your background or level of biblical knowledge, this is a place of connection and growth!
If you are new to Salem, your first step is to connect with a pastor to join our next Bible basics group.
If you are already a member looking to get connected with a Growth Group, email growthgroups@salemlutheran.org. Don’t see what fits your needs? Contact us! New groups can be formed mid-season.
