About Salvation Army

Salvation Army welcomes worshippers in Taunton as one of the Salvation Army churches of Somerset. The building stands at South Street, Taunton. Up-to-date service times and contact details are published on the church's website at www.salvationarmy.org.uk/taunton.

Salvation Army congregations represent one enduring branch of the Christian faith in these islands. 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.

The congregation shares in a long history of worship in England, where the parish system has shaped local life for more than a thousand years. Taunton is the county town of Somerset and a focal point for church life in the area. First-time visitors and regular worshippers alike will find an open door.

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.
