The Salvation Army is a worldwide Christian church.
Our faith convinces us that hope, purpose and fulfillment can be everyone’s story. Whether you’re looking for connection, guidance or a community of like-minded people, The Salvation Army welcomes you.
Our local churches offer a community and we provide a huge diversity of spiritual and social activities. We invite everyone to give us a call or drop in for a chat.
If you've got questions about faith, you want to explore Christianity, or you'd just like to connect with other people in your community then our churches can help.
The Salvation Army Northern Hub encompasses Ayr, Charters Towers, Ingham and Townsville - a vibrant region putting Christian love into action, with many expressions meeting the spiritual and practical needs of our communities.
Jesus said: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free” (Luke 4:18, NIV).
Easter offers the perfect opportunity to share the Good News of salvation, everlasting peace and hope revealed through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
May God bless, lead and empower you this Easter as you reveal hope to your community through the Good News of Jesus Christ.
On this day, 110 years ago, the name ‘Australian and New Zealand Army Corps’ (ANZAC) was immortalised at Gallipoli. The ANZACs established an imperishable tradition of selfless service, devotion to duty and fighting for all that is worthy in human relationships. We are thankful for those who have given — and those who still give — so much of themselves to make the world a safer and more noble place.
We remember the sacrifices made by the original ANZACs, and countless others in times of peace and conflict. We recognise the courage, determination and commitment of those who have fought for our country, seeking justice, freedom and peace for all.
Celebrate the presence, power and promise of children and young people within The Salvation Army!
Every year The Salvation Army celebrates the International Day of Children and Young People on the last Sunday of April (27 April, 2025).
The day provides an opportunity to create space for children and young people to participate, co-create and co-lead in every aspect of our mission. It is about giving them a voice and a platform.
We believe that, although children are developing, they are, at the same time, whole and complete human beings. God calls each individual into a genuine relationship and a real vocation, not a potential vocation somewhere in the future.
This means we regard children and young people as full, active members of the Body of Christ, equally important as anyone else.
The Salvation Army acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters throughout Australia.
We pay our respect to Elders and acknowledge their continuing relationship to this land and the ongoing living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia.
We also acknowledge future aspirations of all First Nations peoples.
Through respectful relationships we will work for the mutual flourishing
of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians and non-Indigenous Australians.
We commit ourselves in prayer and practice to this land of Australia and its people, seeking reconciliation, unity and equity.
