In recognition of this significant anniversary on 2 July 2025, The Salvation Army International Headquarters has created eight short films chronicling the vast and varied mission of the global Salvation Army over the past 160 years.
The first film is available now and looks at the duality of being a church and charity. It follows the early days of the mission, and considers how since its inception, Salvationists (Salvation Army church members) have lived out a doctrine of practical Christianity to encourage both social and spiritual transformation among society’s most vulnerable and marginalised.
