Newark

Here you’ll find:

• A community where lives are transformed by God’s love
• A church where faith and action go hand in hand
• A place where every person is welcomed, valued and encouraged
• Opportunities to grow, serve and make a real difference in our town

We don’t simply invite people to believe — we invite you to belong, connect, and take part. Join us on a Sunday, pop into one of our weekday groups, or support our work in the community through prayer, volunteering, or giving. Every person who steps through our doors or partners with us helps make Newark a brighter place for all.

Every Sunday morning we gather as a church family to connect, share life, and grow together. From 10:00am we welcome you for a time of conversation and friendship, followed by our worship service at 10:30am.

Children go out of the service at 10:50am for Kid's Church - run by our dedicated Children's Workers.  They explore faith through a range of activities and discussion, and always have a lot of fun.

It’s a space for everyone — whether you’re exploring faith for the first time, looking for a fresh start, or simply wanting to be part of a caring community.

We’d love you to join us this Sunday — there’s a place here for you.

Once a month we have an all age worship,  in the style of a Godly Play or Fellowship Service, and the rest of the month we have a Sunday School for school age children.  

However, whatever your age, you will be welcome here at Newark Salvation Army.

Newark Salvation Army is alive with activity throughout the week. Our building is more than a church — it’s a welcoming space where faith, friendship, and community meet.

Newark Salvation Army offers space, support and a warm welcome — making us an ideal venue for your next event.

Every pound given to the Newark Corps Community Fund goes straight back into helping people in our local community when they need it most. It’s a practical way to share kindness, restore dignity, and bring hope.

Because life doesn’t always go to plan, sometimes urgent help is needed before other services can step in. Thanks to this fund, we’ve been able to provide:

• Food vouchers for families who can’t wait for the food bank to open
• Emergency support for people escaping domestic violence
• Clothing, bedding and toys for children in crisis situations
• Glasses for those who couldn’t access support through government funds

Your generosity helps us respond quickly and compassionately, giving people not just what they need to get through today, but also the reassurance that their community cares.

By donating through our JustGiving QR code or the Donate Now button, you’re making a local difference that changes lives in real and lasting ways.

Together, we can make Newark a place where no one feels forgotten, and everyone has the chance to rebuild with dignity and hope.
