Sunday School for elementary school ages as well as Youth Class for middle school through high school ages are available during the main worship service. From weekly teachings to the opportunities to serve on mission trips that instill the values by our creator.

"Love your neighbor as yourself". Mark 12:31

Children play an active role singing songs during our main worship service and learn God's love during "Children's Time", a long time Salem ritual of a brief lesson in front of the congregation which is meaningful, heartfelt and often brings laughter with the honest responses those little ones come up with.

Throughout the year special programs are developed by Paula Overman and Sharon Walker in our Youth and Children's Ministries, respectively.

For infants and toddlers, we offer a staffed nursery to afford parents or guardians the opportunity to refresh your soul in our adult oriented worship service. The nursery has toys for young creative minds and is equipped for personal infant care needs.

Throughout the year there are many opportunities for our youth to get involved through local ministries, service projects, mission work, and camp outs. In the past our Missions Fund has sponsored those who desire the opportunity to go to summer Youth Camps. We believe many a meaningful Christian life and lifetime friendships can sprout from a church youth camp opportunity.

The Methodist Women’s Group is a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the local and global ministries of the church.

The Methodist Women's Group sponsors, coordinates and/or participates in a variety of efforts/events at Salem Church Zionsville including: Lebanon United Methodist Children's Home support, coordination of annual Easter Egg Hunts, Mother's Annual May Celebration on the Friday evening before Mother's Day, Mothers' & Fathers' Day Recognition, presentation of annual Love Gifts to those at Salem who serve our Lord, personalized Bibles to graduating high school seniors, Christmas Cheer Bags, Easter Cheer Bags, Mail Bags for our Youth Campers, creation and distribution of love blankets, and annual Fall Bake Sale in October at the Chicken Noodle Dinner.

Methodist Women's Group membership is open to any woman who indicates her desire to belong and to participate in the local and global missions of our church. Meetings are monthly, the 2nd Thursday at 1:30PM, March - December. Feel free to visit any of our meetings, please check with any officer to confirm date and time.

From the south with the devastation of Hurricane Katrina to more recent efforts for the victims of midwest tornados as well as efforts against child hunger and needy families in Boone County, IN; we do make a difference.

The Outreach Committee works closely with the Salem Missions Committee.

Some of our outreach activities include a booth at the Zionsville Lions Fall Festival, Campout with Christ, Movie Nights and more.

Our Weekly Adult Bible Study meets in the Fellowship Multipurpose Room following the morning worship service at 10:30AM. All are welcome to join in.

The study presents stimulating lessons that explore the biblical message and how to apply it to daily life. The curriculum helps adults move from a focus on the Word to reflection on personal, family, church, and community concerns.

Ideal for a variety of settings, lessons are Bible-based and Christ-focused for use in adult classes.

Salem Choir, led by Music Chair Tina Hand, enjoys presenting special music for Salem's worship services throughout the year with occasional guests performances. 

Choir practices are on designated Thursday nights at 6:30PM. Choir offers musical presentations frequently during Sunday Worship Service plus during various religious holidays and for special Salem events.

All are welcome to join and participate for an entire season or occasionally, as your schedule allows. It is not mandatory to be able to read music. We help one another learn the songs.

If you have questions or would like to offer song suggestions, please contact the Worship Service Music Chair Tina Hand at 317-840-0731 or email at tnhnd@hotmail.com.

We are joined with seven other UMC churches and organizations in Boone county to accomplish much more as a group than individually.

In February of 2017, the Boone County UMC Cluster was re-instituted.

For anyone unsure what the United Methodist "connection" means, consider the "cluster."

The "connection" is a concept that began with Methodism founder John Wesley to refer to the entire church organization. Local churches are not independent entities but rather are connected and in relationship with one another, as well as with annual conferences.

Asking congregations to be in clusters is a way to try and experience again what the connection once was—a living relationship with one another.

Corporate culture

Our church tended to follow the culture in American society. In the middle of the 20th century, American culture was dominated by certain kinds of corporations and bureaucracies. Our church started patterning our life after them, and that’s when each individual congregation started seeing itself as standing alone and each pastor saw him or herself as having a relationship only to the church to which she or he was assigned.

"Clusters encourage people to come together."

The Indiana UMC began cluster groups in 2009. The Boone County Indiana Cluster consists of:

Centenary UMC- Lebanon

Indiana United Methodist Children's Home- Lebanon

Milledgeville UMC- Milledgeville

Otterbein UMC- Lebanon

Salem Methodist Church- Zionsville

Terhune UMC- Terhune

New Beginnings Fellowship - Thorntown

Whitestown UMC- Whitestown

The Boone County UMC Cluster has been successful reaching goals only attainable as a group, as opposed to limitations individually. Over the last six years we have raised more than $25,000 for the "Kid's Sack Lunch" school program by the Lebanon Community of Shalom helping children in need obtain nutritious meals while schools are not in session.

We remain committed to take action the best we can for individuals and groups in need or the many partner organizations we support such as The Caring Center of Lebanon, Love In The Name of Christ, Boone County, The Indiana United Methodist Children's Home, and more.

The group meets monthly at member locations.
