The Rev. Marvin Havard, Pastor

Pastor Marvin grew up in southern Mississippi and dreamed of being a musician. After serving as a church organist and musician for many years, he felt the call to ordained ministry and left the bench for the pulpit. He has served calls in Littlefork, MN and Plano, TX before moving to Houston in April 2017. Marvin and his husband are both active in the music life of the community and can often be found sitting near the front in a movie theater on free evenings.

Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church is a welcoming community of faith in southwest Houston. We welcome everyone, regardless of gender, race, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity. We love Jesus, and we believe Jesus invites us to be people who love, serve and give.

We are biblical, sacramental, liturgical, musical, mission-oriented and community-minded. We are singles, couples and families. We love kids in worship and also welcome people who haven’t been here — or anywhere — in a while.

We are not perfect, but we are redeemed people who love, serve and give together in God’s grace.

The Rev. Marvin Havard, Pastor
