Our Staff
Salem's Pastor Mary Fiel
I grew up on a farm in Blue Earth, MN with my parents and younger sister. I moved to Forest City, IA to attend Waldorf College, and worked in the Admissions Office as my first job after graduation. It was there where I first felt the call to ministry, and in the fall of 2013 started my seminary journey at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN. Shortly after moving to the cities, I met my now husband, Nick, and my now step-daughter, Jazmyn (Jaz). I spent two academic years serving the folks at Long Lake Lutheran in Isanti, where I became more comfortable with the Isanti County area.
We currently live in North Branch along with our dogs, Cain and Saban, and two cats, Kuro and Athena. My hobbies/interests outside of ministry include: bowling, watching movies/documentaries, reading, crocheting, playing board/card games, and watching sports (including playing Fantasy Football with Nick!).
If you want to meet with Pastor Mary please make sure to call or text her at 507.525.3909 or via email at prmaryfiel@gmail.com

We have an awesome group of church leaders who serve on our church council. These council members serve 3 year terms at a time and assist the pastor on the day to day running of the church as well as carry our mission forward for years to come.
These are the folks to ask if you have questions, if you notice something wrong with the building or if you have a big dream for our future.

Our church building is cared for by the Horbul family (Renee, Steve, Lexi and Haley) Our facilities stay clean and put together because of the dedication these folks show on a weekly basis!
