About Liverpool Valley Church & Community Centre

Liverpool Valley Church & Community Centre is a Salvation Army church serving Liverpool and the surrounding parts of Merseyside. Its home is Mildenhall Road, Liverpool. The church keeps its service schedule and activities updated at www.salvationarmy.org.uk/liverpool-valley.

The Salvation Army family of churches carries a long and particular story within the wider Church. 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. Liverpool is the county town of Merseyside and a focal point for church life in the area. First-time visitors and regular worshippers alike will find an open door.

Planning a visit? Arriving ten minutes early leaves time to find a seat and say hello. Parking near British churches is often limited, so check the surrounding streets or walk if you can, and if step-free access or a hearing loop matters to you, it is worth ringing ahead, as provision varies from building to building.
