Introducing Together 2025

Find out more about the theme for Together 2025 and what's happening at the weekend.

What is it?

Together 2025 is a weekend of worship and celebration, including the annual ordination and commissioning of new Salvation Army officers. This year’s theme is Mission 160: From Generation to Generation.  

We will be joined by the international leaders of The Salvation Army, General Lyndon Buckingham and World President of Women’s Ministries Commissioner Bronwyn Buckingham, as we mark 160 years of the Movement. We will also be celebrating the ordination and commissioning of the Champions of the Mission session of cadets. 

As we gather together, young and old to share in worship, we will focus on mission and the call we have to share God’s goodness with each generation (see Psalm 79:13), telling of his mighty acts and proclaiming his power (see Psalm 145:4). 

Who is it for?

Everyone linked to The Salvation Army! 

Why should you go? 

It is an opportunity to join in worship, teaching and celebration, as we deepen our discipleship, discover resources for ministry and celebrate all that God has done, is doing and will do. 

What will happen? 

Together 2025 will have something for all ages. There will be live music, mission resources, dance workshops, sports, art, prayer spaces and areas for fellowship and food. The Family Ministries, Music and Creative Arts and Children and Youth Departments will lead activities in the main sessions and around the venue. There will be a children’s venue (ages 5 to 11) on Saturday afternoon and a youth hangout (ages 12 to 17) between the Sunday sessions. These will provide young people with space to engage with the weekend’s theme.  

Penny, 11, from the West Midlands says: ‘I am looking forward to the kids’ activities on the Sunday. These were a lot of fun last year, playing games and doing crafts. I hope to see some of the friends I made.’ 

Will there be any special guests? 

General Lyndon Buckingham and Commissioner Bronwyn Buckingham will be involved in teaching, leading and engaging in activities.  

The Canadian Staff Songsters will also join us, under the leadership of Cathie Koehnen. They have a heart for worship, evangelism and integrated mission through music.
