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.
To preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.
Founded in London in 1865, The Salvation Army quickly circled the globe — going into the streets to minister to the poor and destitute — and now serves in 127 countries. Over the next several decades, The Salvation Army grew rapidly. Programs evolved to meet changing needs, but remained focused on “Sharing God’s love by serving others.”
The Army made its way to America in 1880 and was established in Nashville ten years later focusing on problems specific to the area. In 1916, The Salvation Army took a giant step forward with the purchase of property at 216 West Chestnut Street in Louisville, KY for $30,000, and with the building of a new citadel, described by the Courier-Journal as a “model for Salvation Army facilities across the nation.”
