Salem United is a modern worship music band led by Rev. Tim Power and Rev. Nick Savage, originating from Salem United Methodist Church in St. Louis, MO. The collective features gifted singers and skillful instrumentalists, both professional and lay musicians.  Through their music Salem United shares music to inspire and shape our faith as we praise God together.   

 

The Salem United Methodist Choir, a blend of professional and volunteer singers, rehearses weekly to perform traditional hymns, classical pieces, and spirituals that enrich our worship. Accompanied by our Moeller organ and Steinway grand piano, the choir leads hymns every Sunday and performs with our orchestra and guest soloists. Rehearsals are Wednesdays from 7:30 to 9:00 pm (September-May), and all are welcome to join!

 

The Salem Chamber Orchestra is a professional ensemble that regularly enriches our 11:00 am traditional worship service at the Mid-County Site. We believe that great music transcends style; it speaks to the soul and has the power to transform lives. Join us to experience the uplifting impact of live orchestral music in worship.

Salem’s music ministry collaborates with a variety of guest performers from the St. Louis Symphony, Jazz at the Bistro, Opera Theatre of St. Louis, the Muny, and more local and nationally celebrated gospel, contemporary, and classical artists.
