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 houses a small church.

At this point, we are nearly finished with the 2023-24 school year. Although the building has 12 classrooms, we are only using 6 right now. The rest of the rooms still need to be renovated. We need to install new windows, heating/AC, lighting, and flooring. We also still need to install a new roof over these rooms. The roof over the rooms we are using this year has been finished. We are anticipating needing more rooms for the 2024-25 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.

Although the 2023-24 school year is underway, if you are interested in transferring your student(s) to our school this year, please contact us right away.
