Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church has financed part of the costs for our new sanctuary with a loan from the Mission Investment Fund of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Loans such as ours are possible because of the investments made in MIF by congregations and their members. Visit the MIF Web site to learn how you can invest in the Mission Investment Fund and thereby assist other ministries that want to expand or renovate their facilities to better serve their neighbors.
