New to Salford? Here is some information to get you started.
WHAT DO MENNONITES BELIEVE?
At the center of Mennonite faith is affirmation of Jesus Christ as the model for life and as One who died and rose so we can live in union with God. Mennonites want to keep Christ’s life and ministry alive in the world. This is why we refer to the church as the "Body of Christ."

DO YOU HAVE SUNDAY SCHOOL?
Yes, "Second Hour" at Salford runs throughout the year excluding the months of July and August. It follows the worship service and concludes by 11:45 am.
Children: Classes for children meet downstairs across from the Fellowship Hall.
Youth: Junior High (grades 6-8) meets upstairs behind the sanctuary and has an average attendance of 10-15. Senior High (grades 9-12) meets in the historic schoolhouse across the parking lot from the main building. Senior High also has an average attendance of 10-15. Visit the Welcome Desk for an escort and introduction to either class. More about the youth groups’ activities can be found here.
Adults: There are a variety of adult class topics where all ages are welcome. More information is available on the Second Hour page.
WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN SUNDAY SCHOOL AND THE WORSHIP SERVICE?
There are coffee and tea stations on the level below and above our main foyer and most people use this time to talk and greet each other. This is a great time to learn about where the Second Hour classes are or ask for a quick tour of the church. Second Hour classes are gracious with their start times so feel free to use the restroom or find your or your childrens’ classrooms.
