Church News

Greetings and Peace to You, God's Beloved! 

Salem First Christian Church (SFCC) is an active participant in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)—a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. We welcome all to the Lord’s Table, as Christ has welcomed us. We seek true community, deep Christian spirituality, and a passion for justice (Micah 6:8).

SFCC is a delightful place to know and be known by God and neighbors. It is a joy how SFCC has found ways to be faithful and vibrant since its founding in 1855. We are impressed with this congregation’s commitment to be and to share the Good News of Jesus Christ—witnessing, loving, and serving from our doorsteps and beyond (Acts 1:8).  It is an honor to journey where the Spirit will lead this church with our core values of welcoming, worshiping, caring, praying, teaching, serving, giving and sharing  and loving where God leads us!. (Photo of Co-Senior Ministers, Reverend Michelle Harris-Gloyer and Reverend Matthew Harris-Gloyer with son, Kaiden.)

Green Chalice Congratulates Salem First Christian Church

Congratulation to First Christian Church of Salem, Oregon, for becoming a Certified Green Chalice Ministry. This proves that SFCC is living out their faith by caring for God's creation and leading the denomination and community in authentic ways.

Green Chalice applauds the comprehensive approach to Creation Care: energy efficiency efforts, nontoxic cleaning choices, plastic reduction, planting native trees, sharing garden-grown food and cooking classes. In addition, Green Chalice recognizes and celebrates the integration of Creation Care into congregational life through Vacation Bible Fest, Sunday School classes and worship services—connecting scripture and faith with environmental action.
