At the heart of The Salvation Army programs are its Corps Community Centers, also known as churches. The four Baltimore Area “corps” serve as both places of worship and service to their respective communities.
Each Salvation Army Officer is ordained and serves as pastor and director of all corps’ activities. In addition to weekly worship opportunities, corps’ activities include Bible studies, men’s and women’s fellowship/service clubs, pastoral counseling, music education, and volunteer work.
Corps Community Centers also offer religious and social programs for youth and young adult members. Among these activities are: Sunday School, The Adventure Corps (a program similar to Boy Scouts), and Sunbeams and Girl Guards (similar to Brownies and Girl Scouts). Music classes, athletics, arts and crafts and camping offer each youngster opportunities for development of special talents and skills.
