We invite you to leave a greeting in our visitor's book

Our vision is to be a loving, vibrant, Spirit-filled church with a burning desire to serve our community, welcome people into our fellowship, introduce people to Jesus and to grow disciples.


We exist for ′OTHERS′

Perhaps, the best way to appreciate what sort of church we are is to look at pictures of what has taken place in the recent past. Take a look at photographs of events over the last five years

Our leaders are Majors Iain and Alison Hudson

They are the most recent in a line of more than one hundred. Read more

The Salvation Army "opened fire" in Reading in 1881. From that start The Army has progressed so that there are now 3 churches (corps) and a residential centre in Reading.

The Reading Central corps is a direct descendent of the corps that was established in 1881. See how we survived and prospered despite imprisonment of our members and loss of buildings. This brief history provides a snapshot of the past 130 and more years.

Members of this church work with Street Pastors helping to relieve suffering in Reading on Friday and Saturday nights
