History:
William Booth, a former Methodist minister, formed the Christian Mission in 1865 in the slums of London. This organization became The Salvation Army in 1878 and quickly spread around the world as an evangelical denomination. Perhaps best known in this country for its social service programs, The Salvation Army has been steadfast in its goal to "meet human needs in His name without discrimination." The Salvation Army began operations in Panama City in 1938 and has been an active member of the faith community and service community since that time.
