Join The Salvation Army family

We have 750 community churches and social centres where we offer friendship, practical help and support to some of the most disadvantaged people in our communities.

Our churches (also known as corps) offer a spiritual home for people looking for a church family and those wanting to explore Christian faith. 

Each church has a unique programme that responds to local needs. You can visit your local Salvation Army church, find out about their activities, and attend the local services that take place either on a Sunday or during the week.

You should expect to receive a warm welcome at The Salvation Army. 

You do not have to be a member of The Salvation Army to attend worship meetings, or to receive practical help and support, but many people want to belong – and we want people to feel they belong to The Salvation Army. Most importantly, we want everyone to deepen their relationship with God, Father, Son and Spirit. 

Find out about what being a Salvation Army Soldier, an Officer, an Adherent or a junior Soldier means. 

We work with some of the most disadvantaged people in our communities; including people experiencing homelessness and unemployment, older people, those suffering from drug and alcohol addiction, as well as victims of modern slavery and major emergencies.

Find out more about volunteering with us. 

You can also contact your local Salvation Army church, centre or charity shop for more information.

We have around 6000 staff and officers working in communities throughout the UK and Ireland. Our Territorial Headquarters is based in South London.

Motivated by our Christian faith we offer practical support and services to all who need them, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Why not turn your talents into transforming lives with a career in the Salvation Army.
