Our Mission
Doing The Most Good
In 1865 William Booth, a London minister, began The Salvation Army. Booth left the pulpit determined to reach out to the poor, the homeless, and the hungry. Booth found that before he could meet spiritual needs he first needed to meet the basic needs of life.
When he first started out he was focused on sending converts to the churches that were already established, but he soon realized that these converts did not feel welcomed in most of those established churches. Many churchgoers viewed the converts with disdain and were put off by their unkempt dress and appearance. Because of this Booth founded the East London Christian Mission, especially for them.
Slowly the mission grew, but Booth remained faithful.
The Salvation Army was born in the May of 1878. Both Booth’s son, Bramwell, and his friend George Railton were asked to read a proof of the Christian Mission’s annual report. The title read ‘The Christian Mission Is A Volunteer Army’. Booth’s son objected to the wording. He felt strongly that he was not a volunteer but rather that he was compelled to do the work of God. Booth replaced the word ‘Volunteer’ with the word ‘Salvation’ and The Salvation Army was born.
The Salvation Army spread around the world by the 1900’s.
Today, The Salvation Army is stronger and more powerful than ever. Now, in 126 nations around the world, The Salvation Army continues to work where the need is greatest, guided by faith in God and love for all people.

About The Salvation Army of Melbourne Corps
Salvation Army corps are first and foremost a church, where local residents gather in worship both on Sundays and during the week. Corps offer a variety of local programs for adults, youth and elderly residents that help them grow spiritually. Typical programs include after-school programs for youth, fellowship groups, Bible study, recreational programs and more.
Our local Salvation Army corps services those throughout the south end of Brevard county, from Pineda south to the county line. In addition to being a church The Salvation Army also runs a variety of social services and programs to provide critical assistance. We operate our food pantry. We provide emergency housing and financial assistance. We participate in times of disaster to help their local communities recover from nature’s sometimes devastating effects.
Our Salvation Army corps is managed by local Salvation Army officers and their experienced, dedicated and hard-working staff of employees, professionals, case managers and volunteers. Each and everyone is a welcoming face and a helping hand to the communities they serve.

BELIEFS
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God, and that they only constitute the Divine rule of Christian faith and practice
There is only one God, who is infinitely perfect, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of all things, and who is the only proper object of religious worship
There are three persons in the Godhead – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, undivided in essence and co-equal in power and glory
In the person of Jesus Christ, the Divine and human natures are united, so that He is truly and properly God and truly and properly man
Our first parents were created in a state of innocence, but by their disobedience, they lost their purity and happiness, and that in consequence of their fall, all men have become sinners, totally depraved, and as such are justly exposed to the wrath of God
The Lord Jesus Christ has, by His suffering and death, made an atonement for the whole world so that whosoever believes in Him may be saved
Repentance toward God, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit are necessary to salvation
We are justified by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and that he that believeth hath the witness in himself
Continuance in a state of salvation depends upon continued obedient faith in Christ
It is the privilege of all believers to be wholly sanctified, and that their whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
In the immortality of the soul, in the resurrection of the body, in the general judgment at the end of the world, in the eternal happiness of the righteous, and in the endless punishment of the wicked
