The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination
We believe that an essential element of our ministry is to be good stewards of the gifts that have been given to us to share. In Tyler, our financial analysis shows that 89 cents of each dollar given to us goes directly to help people in need. Administration, expenses and other costs are only 11 cents.
