About us
In over 100 countries
The Salvation Army is an integral part of the Christian Church, although distinctive in government and practice. The Salvation Army’s doctrine follows the mainstream of Christian belief and its articles of faith emphasise God’s saving purposes. Its objects are the advancement of the Christian religion,of education, the relief of poverty, and other charitable objects beneficial to society or the community of mankind as a whole. The movement, founded in 1865 by William Booth, has spread from London, England, to many parts of the world.
In Greece
Although for many years there have been many requests by both individuals and establishments, The Salvation Army was never formally established in Greece for all these years. In October 2007 General Shaw Clifton decided that it is now time for the Salvation Army to be present in Greece. Captains Polis Pantelidis and Maria Konti-Galinou were appointed to start the work of The Salvaiton Army in Thessaloniki.
