About The Congregational Church of Salem

TCCS is a historic church that strives to be multi-generational in our approach to worship. Our goal for worship is to have the 8 year old and the 80 year old come and encounter Christ and grow in Christ so that together we may glorify God on the frontlines of our lives (wherever we live, work, or play). As a multi-generational church, we utilize everything from praise music written this year to historic hymns.


For teaching, you can expect energetic, passionate, Christ centered preaching that holds up the Gospel and is marked by just a hint of humor. We strive for messages that are expository, which means they are well rooted in the Biblical text, and the heart of the passage is the heart of the message
