International Mission Statement The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.The Salvation Army is Born In 1878 came another name change. William Booth was perusing a printer's proof which referred to the Christian Mission as a ' volunteer army'. Booth swept his pen through the word ' volunteer' and changed it to read Salvation Army. The name was adopted. Elijah Cadman, an enthusiastic believer, excitedly proclaimed in a meeting soon after, "God bless the Captains of The Salvation Army! I should like to wear a suit of clothes that would let everybody know I meant war to the teeth and salvation to the world". A simple form of uniform was gradually adopted by its members. This, in 1880, was developed into a regulated uniform system. The full-time ordained ministers of the organisation were known as Officers and adopted military rank titles according to seniority. The part-time ordinary members were called Soldiers. Instead of General-Superintendent, William Booth became The Salvation Army's General; this remains the title given to the international leader of The Salvation Army. The Mission-Stations (Churches) were henceforth entitled Corps. After responding to a call from America in early 1880, The Salvation Army next answered calls to commence operations in Australia.

Helped me with things I needed and helping me with anything I need to talk about and get back in contact with them anytime if I need to
This local PM community of the Salvos are an amazing group of kind hearted, welcoming people. My mum and I have been going there for the last 12 months, after my dad passed away. Mum has been so welcomed by all of the friends there. They involve her in all of the activities they have on. Thank you so much. You have changed her life.
Lovely Sunday service, every one was so welcoming to me.
