Called to be a Soldier

In 2021, General Brian Peddle launched two new resources - Called to be a Soldier and Day by Day Call to Mission - to help us explore what it means to be a disciple of Jesus and live out that calling in our everyday lives.

Using Called to be a Soldier as a guide, we consider again what it looks like for us to surrender all areas of our life to Jesus and take a closer look at the covenant made by those who are called to be soldiers in The Salvation Army. You are invited to read Called to be a Soldier with us as we focus on one chapter each week. 

On Sunday 31 July 2022, we will conclude our international focus on Called to be a Soldier with a celebration of soldiership - and we encourage you to celebrate too. 

Becoming a soldier in The Salvation Army is one way of affirming, sharing and living out Christian faith. Take the opportunity to hear from some of the soldiers in your setting – what does living as a Salvation Army soldier mean to them?

This date is not a fixed date and can be celebrated on any other Sunday. However, there is strength in the whole Army praying and celebrating at the same time.
