A building was erected in 1846, but was dismantled and sold to another congregation in 1878. With a recipe of modern technology and good old-fashioned caring for one another, Salem UMC is preparing a link to the future. When you walk into Salem, the welcome mat and prayer request sheets greet you. Other people are talking about what Salem does. To get children involved with mission work, they had a Penny Race for the Indiana United Methodist Children's Home in Lebanon.
Members also help the county food pantry and other outreach programs.
No matter what needs done, their various backgrounds help them get things done. On Membership Sunday last June, Salem grew by 19 members. And that growth is leading to a new 30' by 40' expansion off of an existing addition, which meets the Historic Register's guidelines.
