Salem Lutheran Church (ELCA) | Orlando Florida

Area Theme Parks

We consider it a privilege that people visit our worship services not only from across the United States, but also from around the world. Salem Lutheran Church is the closest Lutheran congregation to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Orlando, and Sea World Orlando! As such, we are in a unique position to bear witness to God's love and compassion for the world, as the world literally comes to our doors. More importantly, members and regular visitors of Salem Lutheran Church work and play at those places as well, and thus bring the light of Christ directly to the theme parks on a daily basis.

Salem's DASH Strategy

Discipleship -To provide opportunities for our members to grow in their faith and to take on active roles in the life of the church. To create new leaders within the church and to increase our presence in the spiritual life of our community.

Assimilation - To nurture and support each other as we integrate new members into the congregation, providing a welcoming worship experience with opportunities for fellowship. To reach out to inactive members and visitors so that they are encouraged to join us in discipleship.

Service - “The church is the church only when it exists for others…” says Dietrich Bonnhoffer. We reflect God’s love when we serve others. This encompasses our everyday actions as well as our more organized efforts.

Heart – To provide all the resources necessary to meet the vision for the ministry of the Gospel by Salem Lutheran Church. This includes faith, hope, love, courage, and the commitment of time, talents, and treasures by the people of God.
