Salem Church was organized on June 22, 1805. The presbytery which organized the church was composed of Elders Daniel Brown, Abel Teague, and William Buckley.

Early members included the following, viz., Stephen Stilley, Fredric Fulkerson, Henry Cochran, John Phelps, Martin Grinder, Matthew Sellers, Adam Sharp, Harry (a black man), Elizabeth Going, Gallant Going, Aaron Going, Punch (a black man), Peter (a black man), Sarah Lamkins, Elizabeth Terry, Lucy (a black woman), Polly Smith, Sallie Hodge, Peggy Ray, Patsy Going, Elizabeth Watson, Sally Padon, Elizabeth Rutter, Sallie Champion, Darkis Smith, Elizabeth Whitten, Margret Sparks, Polly Rutter, Reuben Going, Elisha Flanary, John Pickens, George Flinn, Amos Watson, Jonathan Joiner, Thomas Terry, James Rutter, Willis Champion Sr., Lewis Barlow, Robert Smith, Matthew Sparks, Charles (a black man), Nancy Cochran, Phoebe Cochran, Dicey Proctor, Jane Rounceville, Henrietta Russell, Jane Manning, Hanah (a black woman), Dicey (a yellow woman), Rachel Fletcher, Elizabeth Joiner, Nancy Terry, Sally Barlow, Minty Dillard, Grace Colomanns, and Elizabeth Champion.
