St. Edward's is my uncle's parish and he asked if they could help by hosting our event. They kindly agreed. I cannot adequately put into words how gracious, welcoming, and helpful the folks at St. Edward's were for our family. Their facility was amazing and they treated us as one of their own. Many thanks to this wonderful church and its wonderful people! I feel I have an in-town congregation standing by to welcome me if I ever get back to Salem. Much love, St. Edward's. Thank you!

My husband and I were invited by some friends to attend the Sunday "Picnic In The Park". Upon…read morearriving we were greeted by a bunch of very friendly people and felt very welcome. One of these people was a guy named Matt, whom we all later on learned was one of the pastors. We were led to where the food line was. The people serving were very friendly and definitely not stingy with portions. All of the meats were served piping hot, and the salads cool and tasty. There seemed to be a lot of interesting activities going on for the kids. I saw tractor rides, bouncy houses, coloring, photo booths, and even homemade ice cream! A very yummy and appreciated treat on a hot day. While sitting under the shade tree relaxing, a woman named Lori came up to us and started chatting with us. Turns out Lori is Matts wife, the guy that originally greeted us when we first arrived. A little while later Matt joined Lori as well as their middle daughter. I found all of them very genuine and personable and down to earth "humans", not "stuffy" and "snobby" like other clergy I have ran into over the years. They wound up chatting with us for about an hour, very willing to help answer some questions and share stories. Even their daughter seemed to be very well grounded, appreciative and level headed, a rare thing to find in today's teens and young adults. A little while later a Justin guy joined us to say hi. Justin was also very friendly and personable. All of these nice folks invited my husband and I back for next Sundays picnic. Never once did I feel pressured to attend a service; nothing like some places where it was "If you DON'T attend a service, you're going straight to Hell" stuff. Later on Lori came back up to me with a friend and they invited me to a womans Bible study. This was based on questions I had earlier asked Lori, not because they were trying to "recruit" me into some church going study thing. I told them I wound think about it and get back to them soon. I could not tell you what one of their services is like because I have not attended but I can say that if they indeed do practice what they preach then this may be a church I wind up regularly attending. After I attend a service I will update my ratings. I did not think it would be fair to give 5 stars without first seeing what they offered inside of the church.

He clearly is called to teach and share his testimony. I wrote the above text over a year ago and I am in the works now to become an official member of the church. It's so refreshing to find fellowship focused on prayer, the community and love to help out here on the home front but as well as over seas in Zimbabwe. I also enjoy that service starts at 10:30am Sundays which gives me a chance to sleep after my work week. I've been to many churches but must say there is something special about this one that just feels like home.

This church is not just a place to attend on Sundays -- it is a real church family.

There are so many opportunities to connect, serve, and build meaningful friendships. If you are looking for a church family that is kind, caring, supportive, and centered on God's love, this is the church to go to. I am very thankful to be part of this community.

I can only tell you my personal testimony…read more In my twenty's, I was definitely going down the wrong road! I wanted to find a church, and a preacher that would preach what the Word of God said, and not just what I wanted to hear. I wanted to know how to be saved according to the Bible, and put my own ideas a side. (Because my ideas were what got me on the wrong road in the first place!) My husband & I started having a Bible study with another couple, and the word of God came alive to me! For the first time ever, I saw how to be saved! It hasn't always been easy, but that is when God's unfailing faithfulness steps on the scene to help! From the day I decided to make a commitment to Jesus, to this very day, God has blessed me! He has done so many amazing things in my life, including healing me of cancer! I give this church and our leadership 10 stars. I give Jesus a thousand hallelujahs and a million stars...
