The Christian Mission

The Salvation Army began life in 1865 as the East London Christian Mission, a small, local evangelical movement that sought to bring the gospel to the poor of east London. From 1869, the movement gathered momentum and began opening stations outside of London, so its name changed first of all to the more generic Christian Mission before ultimately becoming The Salvation Army in 1878.
