Here are just a few answers to questions that you may have about The Salvation Army's church services (meetings).  If you have any other questions, please contact us.

Are children welcome in your church services?

At Hurstville Salvos, we have an all-age family worship service where children are encouraged to take part (and are also invited during the 'meeting' to share news about what's happening in their lives).  Following the service, children can learn about Jesus at Sunday School.  Parents can then share in morning refreshments during this time after our service, and are welcome to ask more about our faith with those present.

What should I wear?

There is no dress code at The Salvation Army.   You can wear whatever you are comfortable in.  Many of our church members (Salvationists) do wear Salvation Army uniform, but you will also find plenty of people who come dressed in neat casual attire or suits.  For Salvation Army officers and soldiers, wearing the uniform is a visible expression of their faith that often creates valuable opportunities to provide a helping hand or witness to their beliefs.

What if I can't sing, or don't know the words to a song? 

Music is a large part of our praise and worship at Hurstville Salvos.  You are welcome to just sit back and listen to the songs, until you feel comfortable to join in if you want to.  To help you, we have the words to all songs projected onto a screen.

Will I be asked to give money?

At Hurstville Salvos we never ask our visitors to give financially at our church service.   Of course if you do want to support our work in the community and our ongoing ministry, we would be most thankful.

Can I get my children Christened?

The Salvation Army refers to Christenings as 'dedications'.  This is similar to a typical Christening service, however water is not used. The dedication often takes place during a normal Sunday church service, where parents are encouraged to thank God for blessing them with a child and make promises to raise their child with Christian values.

If you would like to know more, please either come along to our next Church service, or contact us.

 

“For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.”
