What to expect on Sunday
When you join us on Sunday, you’ll find a warm and welcoming atmosphere where everyone is valued. Our worship services include uplifting music, prayer, and a message that connects God’s Word to everyday life. Children and youth are always welcome, and we offer programs designed to help them grow in faith too. You can dress comfortably — some wear their Sunday best, others dress casually — what matters most is that you’re here. After the service, we invite you to stay for a cup of coffee or tea and a friendly chat. We’d love to get to know you!
FAQ
Absolutely! If you have never been to church, or never been to a Salvation Army church we would love to welcome you and answer any question you may have. We want you to feel at home when you come through our doors.
The uniform represents a person’s dedication to God and to The Salvation Army’s mission. For many, wearing it is a public declaration of their Christian faith and their desire to live out that faith through service.
If you want to become an official member of our church there are four paths:
Friends: "Friends" refers to individuals who support The Salvation Army’s mission and activities but choose not to be soldiers or adherents. Friends may participate in Salvation Army events, volunteer their time, contribute financially, and generally align themselves with The Salvation Army’s values and goals. They form a broader community that extends beyond the formal membership, allowing for a more inclusive involvement of individuals who share the Salvation Army's commitment to serving those in need and are growing in their own discipleship journey within the context of their corps community.
Adherent: A member of The Salvation Army who has not made a commitment to soldiership. Adherents are Christians who consider a local Salvation Army corps to be their church home, and want to support its vitality through their presence and involvement.
Soldier: A person who has made a commitment of faith at least 14 years of age who has, with the approval of the senior pastoral care council, been enrolled as a member of The Salvation Army after signing the Soldier's Covenant.
Junior Soldier: A boy or girl up to the age of 18, who has accepted Jesus as their Saviour and signed the Junior Soldier's Promise.
