CREATING FAITH PATHWAYS

​

Our heartfelt desire is for people to know and follow Jesus. But without clear faith pathways, no matter how genuine our care, people can find it hard to find salvation. Every Salvation Army mission expression needs to have a clear path for people to find God. When people see a red shield, they should know that this is a place where they can have physical needs met and where they can find a way to God.

​

What are you doing in your day-to-day life – as a mission enabler, mission deliverer or everyday Salvo – to help people find Jesus? How are you meeting people’s needs and showing care, compassion and love?

We create faith pathways because we see people holistically. We believe that people have physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. This means we will be sensitive to opportunities to offer prayer and help people explore the love of Jesus. We look to graciously demonstrate the Christian faith in both words and actions.
We seek to do this in culturally appropriate ways that encourage exploration of the Christian faith without coercion, force or manipulation. We also respect diversity and the other faith traditions of the staff and people in our care.

​

We are “an army for the purpose of carrying salvation through the land” (General William Booth). Creating clear, compassionate faith pathways is essential to our message of salvation.
