About Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church
Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church in Chambersburg has served its community for more than 200 years since its establishment in 1812 by German farmers seeking a Lutheran place of worship. The congregation, now part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Lower Susquehanna Synod, gathers for worship at 9:00 AM on Sundays, both in person and online. The church is known for its love of music, featuring a pipe organ and choir performances from September through May. Salem welcomes all persons regardless of background and maintains a strong commitment to community service and spiritual growth through various ministries and special seasonal celebrations.
