Taken from the website, "Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church began life in New Ephrata, Pennsylvania on February 13, 1852. Members of the Lutheran and German Reformed Friedens Church resolved to erect a Union Church on Apple Street to serve both congregations and were known as Friedens Union Church. The facility was used by both congregations, but on alternating Sundays.
As time passed and both churches grew, the single facility became too small. A Board of Appraisers evaluated the property and an offer of $600.00 was made by the Reformed congregation and accepted by the Lutheran congregation to purchase the existing property. Ground was purchased on Main Street for a new Lutheran Church and excavation began in late November 1901. The new facility was dedicated September 7, 1902."
