Reading Central Salvation Army

THE SALVATION ARMY AT READING CENTRAL

Find us close to the centre of Reading. See how to navigate your way to our building and about where to park.
We will be pleased to see you when you arrive.

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 in recent months.

The Songsters enhance our worship every Sunday.

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. Reading Central is the largest of the three churches and our congregation on Sunday morning numbers about 100 people.


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 more than 140 years.
