Loving God and others

  The Salvation Army Port Stephens is a place for everyone.  

Our vision is to see God’s hope revealed in people’s lives.

Our church is a welcoming space where you are invited to be yourself and find a place to belong. We invite you to start, or continue, your faith journey with us.

We are a Jesus-centred, Spirit-led group of people who are committed to loving God and others.

We meet each Sunday at 10am to worship God together in community and have a range of activities to encourage connection and friendship. Whether you’re looking for someone to do life with, or someone to believe in good for you during a tough time, Port Stephens Salvos is here for you.

Connect with us on the details below or follow us on Facebook to learn about upcoming events.
