Salvation Army churches form a well-established strand of Christianity in the United Kingdom. The Salvation Army was founded by William and Catherine Booth in the East End of London in 1865 and is known as much for its social work as for its worship. Local churches, called corps, combine Sunday services with food banks, debt advice, homelessness support and, famously, brass bands. There are around 600 corps across the UK and Ireland. The tradition traces its modern form to 1865. As a measure of its reach, the wider family today counts around 600 corps in the UK and Ireland.

It belongs to the broad community of churches across England, whose landscape holds everything from Saxon churches to congregations meeting in converted warehouses. Bolton lies within Greater Manchester, whose county town is Manchester. The church forms part of the wider Salvation Army presence across Greater Manchester.

Thinking of coming along? Simply turn up: no invitation is needed. Allow a little extra time for getting there, as parking close to older church buildings can be tight, and if accessibility is a concern, a quick call ahead will confirm arrangements such as ramps, accessible toilets or a hearing loop.
