The Melbourne Staff Songsters (MSS) is a Salvation Army gospel choir that exists to communicate the love of God and invite listeners to respond to Jesus Christ.

Although the Salvos are well known in Australia for their social work, The Salvation Army is first and foremost a church, and the MSS is a vital part of its worship tradition.

The group, which performs at both Salvation Army and community events, has travelled to all states of Australia and toured Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Current repertoire includes contemporary, classical and gospel music, with some drama, choreography and humour thrown in to the mix!

Members belong to Salvation Army churches around Melbourne and regional Victoria. Their ages range from 18 to 60, and they are employed in various occupations including school teaching, community work, management and sales. All give of their own time and expense to be part of the MSS.

Thank you for visiting this site. As you explore it we pray you will become aware of how great our God is – and understand why we can’t help but sing for him.
