Many people have been asking when the Salem church rededication will take place. Mark February 2, 2025 for the Bicentennial celebration (1825-2025) and church rededication along with celebrating the founding of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church (Feb. 4, 1810). Times have yet to be set. Will publish as soon as that decision is made.
