Where We Serve

The Salvation Army Texas Division is proud to serve every zip code in Texas.

 

Our History

 The Salvation Army began in England in 1852 by William Booth when he and his wife, Catherine, helped fight for the soul of lost men and women. Within 10 years of operating, their organization, known as "The Christian Mission", had over 1,000 volunteers and evangelists. When Booth read a printer's proof of the 1878 "Christian Mission" annual report, he noticed the statement "The Christian Mission is a volunteer army." Crossing out the words "volunteer army," he penned in "Salvation Army. From those words came the basis of the foundation deed of The Salvation Army.

In 1888, Adam Janelli came to America and settled in Dallas, Texas. One day, the rough citizens of the then frontier town, were startled when Janelli, wearing his Salvation Army uniform, began preaching on a downtown street corner. Every time he preached, people were finding Christ. Eager to get The Salvation Army established in Texas, Janelli wrote letters to General William Booth in London asking that Officers be sent to Texas. His letter barrage got so thick that the official word was given and The Salvation Army of Texas opened in 1889. Janelli gave both material and spiritual help to the poor and homeless, and to the people of Dallas, he became known as "Mr. Salvation Army."

 

Our 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.
