The Salvation Army in the USA is well known for bell ringing, thrift stores and helping those in need. At the heart of this service to mankind is a desire to reflect the love of Jesus Christ. Begun in 1865 in London, England by a Methodist Minister and his wife, William and Catherine Booth, The Salvation Army has grown into a small but powerful denomination with a presence in more than 130 countries around the world, including right here in South St. Louis County at Gateway Citadel.
