The Salvation Army is part of the Christian Church
based on the theory:
"Heart to God, Hand to Man"
The Salvation Army preaches that the teachings of the
Bible are fundamental - dealing with the Creation and the Fall of
Humankind; and that our rebirth and salvation come through faith,
Christ's sacrifice and the Divine grace enabling us to grow in
righteousness through the power of God.
