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.
