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.
Description
The Salvation Army was founded in 1865 by William Booth out of a desire to make church available to the outcasts and downtrodden of society that were not welcome elsewhere. While his main goal was always to share the good news of Jesus Christ, he recognized that people would be unable to fully understand their need for Christ while their basic necessities were not met and thus church and social services were brought together in the organization.
At The Salvation Army of Flagstaff we are a church that offers a food pantry, utility assistance, rent assistance when available, camp programming for children, and our Angel Tree program to help families in need receive gifts for their children.
