We are a Christian church who believe in salvation through faith, by the grace of God, through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The activities we are involved in are our way of sharing our faith and the love of God with each other and with our community.
The creed of the Salvation Army is that of the great Christian communions. We hold to the truth of the Bible. We aim to make the ‘good news’ clear and plain.
We are very keen for people to pray for each other and with each other and there are many opportunities within our church life to do this.
We also encourage people to join a small group (Home:base) that meet twice monthly.
Our aim is to develop as a church that provides for all ages and is supportive intergenerationally.
Our services are open to everybody. Although The Salvation Army may be known for wearing uniform, many who attend our service do not.
As well as our Sunday morning service we occasionally have an evening service.
We also have a Thursday evening Bible teaching series running on a termly basis.
We are a church who like to be part of the local community and to find ways in which we can be of benefit to it.
One way we have been able to do this is through the running of Newark Family Contact Centre. This provides a twice monthly opportunity for a non-resident parent to see their children when it is difficult for them to meet in their own environment.
We also have developed the FiSch (Faith in Schools) Project. This project resources a Christian Youth and Children's Worker to spend time in a local primary and secondary school, offering support and mentoring to children, providing assistance to school clubs and developing Christian groups and teaching.
