About the Salaam Cultural Center (SCC)
SALAAM CULTURAL CENTER (SCC) was incorporated as a non-profit religious organization in 2011. We have come a long way from our humble beginnings back in the 2003 when we had a very small place for prayers that soon grew into Masjid-SALAAM 2011. SCC has grown several folds in terms of its community strength and size in the last 9 years. Our main SCC building is approximately 8030 SQFT in size (In March 2016 SCC has purchased Church 8030sqft.). We have over 200 people attending Jumaa prayers on Fridays. Our Weekend Islamic School provides one of the best schooling alternatives to our community members who wish to offer quality education to their children in an Islamic environment. In addition to being open for prayers five times a day, SCC provides Educational programs (dawah), outreach services, social services, Islamic Counseling and Education (ICE), Youth and Women’s services, Reknowned visiting scholars, etc. All of this has been possible primarily due to the Will and Blessings of Allah (SWT) and due to the very generous support of our community members and tireless efforts of many dedicated volunteers over the past few decades.
