The Salvation Army is a church; a church for everyone. Located in Colorado Springs and Fountain Valley, our congregations are made up of all kinds of people. Worship services are lively, informal and kid friendly. They’re upbeat and positive with great music – and not too long! Our beliefs are based upon the Bible, and correspond to other mainstream denominations. We believe that God loves us and wants to help us; that because of Jesus we can have a relationship with God; that this is the way to live a life that is complete; that friendship with God is the source of all help, hope and peace.
