This website has recently undergone substantial rebuilding. While we’ve worked to minimise disruptions, you may encounter some issues. We appreciate your patience during this transition.

Sydenham Corps

Sydenham Corps

Come worship and serve with us. The Salvation Army is moved by far more than a desire to do good works. Our deeds are driven by Christian faith and devotion. Our work is fuelled by our worship – church services that feed the soul and cultivate compassion. And there’s a place for you.
