Salem Alliance Church

Verve
     We are mostly married couples in our 20s and 30s. We desire to provide a place for deepening
     relationships, sharing spiritual journeys and encouraging each other in applying God's Word to 
     our lives. Because we currently have some non-hearing group members, ASL interpretation is
     available.

     or who need brothers and sisters to walk with in the journey toward transformation in Christ.
