People’s Church has truly become home for our family. Pastor Tom’s sermons are always heartfelt, clear, and easy to apply to everyday life. The kids’ programs are amazing, and our children absolutely love it. But what really sets this church apart is the people—everyone is so welcoming and kind from the moment you walk in. You can genuinely feel the presence of God during worship. We are so grateful to be part of this church.

Several years ago, as I was trying to find a church home, I went to a number of churches around the Salem area. Since People's Church, I have not left. I feel the holy spirit moving in my soul when I am there, always in joyous tears when I am worshipping, and a heart full of gratitude knowing both of my children are in good hands through their services, while I take time to charge my holy battery for the week to guide those same babies. I am so grateful to have this church to be able to attend. I keep to myself, but there is so much room to get involved there, and I look forward to doing so.

Very large fellowship with all of the various adult and children's ministries, programs and beautiful, college campus-like meeting spaces that you could possibly desire. Polished presentation in all aspects of the service. Solid Bible-based teaching with opportunities for receiving Christ or prayer for needs at the end of the service. As a visitor, I was impressed by the whole experience however, my preference is small fellowships where you can easily know and be known. I was not greeted by any other attendees after the service but kinda didn't expect to be since it's difficult to know who might be new in large fellowships like this one. They hold three Sunday services and the sanctuary itself is large and spacious with a balcony to boot. A good church; worth a visit.

I went to church on a Sunday and some of the first things that the pastor started talking about how the president made a good decision. I don’t want to go over details but I don’t think he should be talking about politics in church. Especially because of the way he was talking about it, it sounded like he’s behind the current person we have. Bottom line politics should not be talked about in church. Just my opinion.

great worship, but as a person of color who did not agree with the things Charlie Kirk said and did, I was very uncomfortable with the fact that the entire service today, 9/14 was purely based off of this man. Please be more thoughtful as so many other people attend this church and surely felt the same way about it.

Incredibly loud, rude neighbors. They love blaring music outside so the whole neighborhood has to listen to it. They have an enormous building, why they can't just go inside it to listen to music is beyond me. It's very unpleasant living near this church and when informed that they are being rude, they do nothing to improve. They do not care about their neighbors at all (I thought love thy neighbor was a tenant of the Bible but I guess I'm reading a different book than them). And what also needs to be understood is that this church doesn't operate like a typical church that makes some noise on Wednesdays and Sundays, they have something going on pretty every day, sometimes more than once a day. And for nearly every event the bass is BLARING.
