Worship Services and Spiritual Programs

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.

Our worship services offer a place to study the Bible, worship God, and grow together in a community built on God’s grace and faith in Jesus. Most worship services are held weekly, usually on Sunday. There are also ministry opportunities throughout the week offering activities such as prayer groups, family events, youth character building programs and meetings for seniors.  

The Salvation Army is answering and sharing God’s call in creative and unique ways across the nation—such as the thriving Dinner Church in Kansas City’s Prospect Ave community. Watch a video to see how they share their innovative approach to nurturing spiritual growth and engagement in worship within their community.

In addition to regular worship services, our local corps officers (pastors) provide pastoral care, guiding individuals through personal struggles, spiritual growth, and life changes.

The Salvation Army provides a network of chaplains  to support people in need during disaster recovery, in hospitals and correctional facilities, helping individuals find hope and restoration through faith in Jesus. 

Similarly, our Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARC) and Harbor Light Centers  integrate spiritual counseling into their programs to individuals struggling with a range of spiritual, emotional or physical challenges, which can include substance abuse.

Jesus said, “When I was in prison, you came to visit me.” It is with that same spirit, we provide a wide range of Christ-centered outreach, including church services, to those who are incarcerated to return to productive lives.

Since the 1920s The Salvation Army Southern Territories’ Corrections Ministry has provided programs to encourage growth and support in the spiritual, educational, and emotional lives of inmates. From Bible correspondence courses to prerelease job training programs, we take God’s love behind bars to help the healing process with a renewed life purpose. Together, we work to restore hope to inmates, their families, and their communities.

The Salvation Army Women’s Ministries exist to give leaders resources for encouraging, supporting, discipling, and training women of all ages, life stages, and backgrounds to follow the mission of Jesus Christ.

We believe this happens best as women gather together in worship services in the name of God to impact their family, their community, and their world.
