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.
The church stands within the wider Christian life of England, home to the Church of England alongside thriving Catholic, Methodist, Baptist and independent churches. Pontefract lies within West Yorkshire, whose county town is Leeds. Visitors are welcome, whether you live in Pontefract or are simply passing through.
