Updated
Salem Lutheran Church is an ELCA congregation in Creston, Iowa, located at 602 West Townline Street. Its website, salemluth.net, serves as the public information hub for the church: worship times, livestream access, communion schedule, and contact details. If you are looking for a Lutheran church in or near Creston, checking service times before you visit, or trying to reach the church office, this site is the starting point.
Where the Church Is and How to Reach It
The church sits directly across from Creston Community High School, which makes it easy to find if you are navigating by local landmarks.

The site also links to the church's Facebook and YouTube pages, so you can follow announcements or watch services without attending in person.
Worship Services and Livestream
Sunday worship begins at 10 am. Services are livestreamed on YouTube starting at the beginning of the service, so remote viewers join at the same time as the in-person congregation rather than watching a later recording.
If you plan to attend in person, arriving a few minutes before 10 am is the practical choice. If you plan to watch online, go to the church's YouTube channel at 10 am to catch the service from the start.
Communion Schedule and Who May Participate
Communion is served on the first and third Sunday of each month. The church states that baptized guests and visitors are invited to share Holy Communion, and that children are invited to the table to receive a blessing.
That means:
- Check the calendar before you visit if receiving communion matters to your plans — it is only offered on the first and third Sundays, not every week.
- Visitors are welcome at the table if they are baptized; you do not need to be a member.
- Children are included, receiving a blessing rather than communion.
What the Site Does and Does Not Tell You
The website covers the essentials a first-time visitor or someone trying to make contact would need: location, phone, email, service time, livestream link, and communion practice. It does not publish a full calendar of events, staff directory, or giving information in the material available here.
If you need something beyond those basics — a specific event date, a pastoral appointment, or details about membership — the phone number and office email above are the direct routes.
