Who we are

The Salvation Army’s Founder, William Booth, was a prophet and visionary as well as a man of action. William Booth College was built to give reality to one of his most breathtaking visions – that The Salvation Army should have a University of Humanity.

Over several generations, the college has trained and inspired not only Salvation Army officers, but also a much wider group of people, including local corps (church) leaders, youth workers, corps and centre staff and volunteers, to help them serve God’s purpose.

The reality of Booth’s vision continues to be lived out as it meets the needs of a Salvation Army seeking to make a difference in a challenging and complex world.
