First of all, I need to really apologize for the long wait between posts here. Life got in the way, my involvement in the school is less than it used to be, and I have just become a bit more detached from the daily goings on. But I do need to get back at it…

About Us
Salem Mennonite Church is a 150 member country church, located in Elkhart County, Indiana for over 130 years. In 2022, we felt led to pursue the possibility of starting our own K-12 Christian school. Through a series of miraculously timed events, God made it possible for us to purchase a local building, northeast of Nappanee, that was once Union Center public school. It has been used for numerous things since closing, and presently also houses a small church.
At this point, we are finished with the 2024-25 school year. Although the building has 12 classrooms, we are only using 9 right now. We are updating rooms as we gain students, installing new windows, heating/AC, lighting, flooring, and storage cupboards. Thanks to many donors, the entire roof has now been replaced! We are still doing some remodeling for the 2025-26 school year, so we can definitely use your financial aid. You can find out how to help us elsewhere on this website.
Our goal for this school is to not only provide a great learning environment for our own children, but to open the enrollment to other local church parents who share our concerns about what is being taught in the public schools today, along with the harmful influences of a society in turmoil, and the stresses and distractions of going to school with hundreds of students. We feel that providing children with a solid educational curriculum that also acknowledges the importance of believing in God and the Bible is the best way to create adults that will be assets not only to their church, but the community as a whole.
