This is a part of our common Methodist and Anglican heritage. Officers, male and female, are the ministers of the Church. The Army focuses on love of God and dedication to human needs. Ministry is dedicated to both preaching the Gospel and supplying the needs of others. It offers personal counseling, spiritual renewal, and physical rehabilitation.
Aid is offered regardless of the recipient s religious affiliation.
Members see themselves as a disciplined, dedicated core of Christians seeking to carry out the work of Christ in the world q uite literally an army bringing salvation. The doctrine is Wesleyan. Unique is their approach to sacraments. Baptism and Communion are not considered necessary either for salvation or spiritual growth. Rather, all of life, the proclamation of the Gospel, and ministry in Christ s name are seen as sacraments.
