| The Salvation Army was founded as an evangelical organization dedicated
to bringing people into a meaningful relationship through Christ. Its doctrinal
basis is that of the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition. It is composed of persons who are
united to God and man, and who share the common purpose of the organization - to motivate
all people to embrace the salvation in them and Christ. The word "army" indicates that the organization is a fighting force, constantly at war with the powers of evil. Battles are waged through an integrated ministry that gives attention to both body and spirit. It is a total ministry for the total person who cooperates with churches of all denominations to meet the needs of the community. |
