The Salvation Army is one of the largest, most diverse providers of social services in the UK after the Government. Founded in 1865 in London’s East End; the Salvation Army now operates in over 111 countries across the world. As a church and registered charity, we demonstrate our Christian principles through practical help, putting our beliefs into action.
The Salvation Army has more than 750 Salvation Army churches in the UK, these are known as ‘Corps’. These are primarily worship centres that also play an active part in the local community. Worship services (meetings) are held every Sunday and are attended by a cross-section of society, both in age and socio-economic groups.
Anyone can attend a Salvation Army service; some members wear a Salvation Army uniform but you do not have to wear a uniform to attend and be part of the activities. We are a family based church and aim to involve children and young people in our services. A typical service will include congregational singing, prayers, Bible readings and a talk.
The Salvation Army also supports the work of the emergency services by providing refreshments, shelter and counselling at major incidents. Recently this has included the 7th July London bombings, the devastating hurricanes in Southern USA, and the severe floods in the UK.
