THE SALVATION ARMY OF MARTIN COUNTY
While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight; while children go hungry, as they do now I'll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, as they do now, I'll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight, I'll fight to the very end!" -William Booth

Who We Are
The Salvation Army was founded as an evangelical organization dedicated to bringing people into a meaningful relationship with God through Christ. Its doctrinal basis is that of the Wesley Armenian tradition. It is composed of people who are united by the love of God and man, and who share the common purpose of the organization to motivate all people to embrace the salvation provided to them in Christ.
The word "army" indicates that the organization is fighting force, constantly at war with the powers of evil. Battles are effectively waged through an integrated ministry that gives attention to both body and spirit. It is a total ministry for the total person.
Salvation Army beliefs are basically those of the main Christian churches, as derived from the scriptures. These beliefs are not outmoded since they are taken from the Bible which remains as contemporary today as over 100 years ago.
