In June 2026, a roofing truss failed in our beautiful 153-year-old sanctuary. The truss collapse brought down a large portion of the sanctuary ceiling. Along with the roof, the entire interior of our sanctuary is undergoing repair work and cleaning. While our insurance will cover much of the work, we still anticipate expenses to the church. We are a small congregation in a large building, working hard to keep our mission in the city of Rochester, where we see the greatest need. Our Nutrition Center has been feeding the needy in Rochester for over 40 years. Without the income generated by our sanctuary, all Salem's missions (current and future) will suffer. Any financial help is greatly appreciated!
Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference in our mission. Here are just a couple of ways your generosity will be utilized:
- Ensuring the restoration of our beautiful, historic sanctuary.
- Providing essential resources and support for community members facing hardships.
- Enhancing programs that promote inclusivity, education, and spiritual growth.
Join us in making a positive impact! Your support empowers our community, and together we can achieve great things. Thank you for considering a donation!
