The Salvation Army is very much a people-oriented organization, and has been from its inception. Our mission statement reflects this:
We are a church family, a body of believers which exists to:
- reach the community for Jesus Christ
- reach God in meaningful worship
- reach each other through loving fellowship
- reach toward individual, spiritual maturity
- reach beyond ourselves in service to others.
Seeking to help people of all ages and backgrounds, the heart of our ministry is in the provision of spiritual, educational, and social growth for children and adults.
The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church established in 1865, has been supporting those in need in His name without discrimination for 129 years in the United States. Nearly 30 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army each year through the broadest array of social services that range from providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless and opportunities for underprivileged children. 82 cents of every dollar spent is used to support those services in 5,000 communities nationwide.
