Our Mission
"Serving Christ in the City Since 1873"
We are called to "Serve Christ in the City."
Our ministry includes worship, education, pastoral care and service. We know that God is still at work in the world. Our own congregation is just one example of God's ongoing presence. We believe that our relationship to Christ is experienced most fully in church, and realized in our community.
Christ is working among us.
We believe that our congregation exists as a community for others. We do not live for ourselves alone, but in service to Jesus Christ in this city.

About Salem United Church of Christ
Salem was founded in 1873 when Rochester was brimming with new life and possibility.
Our roots are found in the Protestant reformation. Salem was formed by members of the Trinity Evangelical Church, who desired a larger sanctuary and a location on the east side of the Genesee River in order to serve the large numbers of German immigrants who were arriving in Rochester.
In 1934, the German Evangelical and Reformed churches united to form the Evangelical and Reformed Church. This denominational merger was made possible because of an overriding concern for the unity of the church: one Lord, one faith, one baptism.
In 1957, the Evangelical and Reformed Churches joined with the Congregational Churches and the Christian Church to form the United Church of Christ.
