Interest Groups

Experience the warmth of community, tap into some excellent resources or add value to Salvation Army mission by connecting with those involved in some of our special interest groups.

The groups featured here are national or territorial (New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga)—their purpose is to resource those working at the grassroots of Salvation Army mission and to connect those with similar interests.

The Salvation Army is a rich mosaic of different people who fit together to strengthen the Kingdom of God on earth.

As well as friendship, those involved in some of our activities are motivated by the desire to serve in their areas of passion and expertise. As songwriter Bramwell Coles penned in ‘The Song Book of The Salvation Army’:

How can I better serve Thee, Lord,
    Thou who hast done so much for me?
Faltering and weak my labours have been;
    O that my life may tell for Thee!
