A disjointed start

Katoomba Salvation ArmyThe Salvation Army in the Blue Mountains originally opened as Katoomba Corps (church) on 12 July 1890 with meetings mainly held in Bathurst Road. However, it closed in August 1895 for unknown reasons. The Katoomba Salvation Army then re-opened on 8 January 1914 and a new citadel (church building), including the officers quarters, was built next to the current site in Waratah Street. The corps name was changed in 1995 from Katoomba Corps to Upper Blue Mountains Corps (UBMC) to better reflect area and community in which its members come from.
