The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.
The Salvation Army operates on FIVE major core values. We aim to be Passionate, Compassionate, Brave, Uplifting, and Trustworthy. These core values sum up what we are about here at The Salvation Army of Durham. They are the ultimate motivation behind our service!
The Durham Area Command of The Salvation Army, serving Durham, Orange and Person Counties, was established over one hundred years ago. Based today at Liberty and Alston Streets, in the heart of Durham’s most troubled neighborhoods, the Durham Corps provides job and agency referrals, food, clothing, financial assistance and counseling to more than 5,000 citizens per year. Spanish and English speaking social workers meet emergency needs and provide life skills training to help break the cycle of dependency. Weekly worship at the Corps draws almost as many to Spanish-language services as to the English-language offering, reflecting the Corps’ readiness to adapt to a changing neighborhood that is now 42 percent Latino. A new street outreach is carrying the Good News to the city’s “night people” – homeless, drug users and prostitutes. The Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club boasts a distinguished alumni cadre of college graduates, professional individuals and even professional athletes, many of whom came from the neighborhood immediately surrounding the facility – the neighborhood where, today, the median household income is less than $20,000.
