The Army in Ocean County

We welcome you to The Salvation Army of Ocean County serving the communities of Bayville, Beachwood, Island Heights, Lavalette, Ocean Beach, Ocean Gate, Ortley Beach, Pelican Island, Pine Beach, Seaside Heights, Seaside Park, South Toms River and Toms River.  As a Corps Community Center, our mission is to preach the gospel of Christ Jesus with our arms outstretched to suffering humanity.

Through our many varied programs, opportunities for worship and services, we believe that you will find a welcoming environment.  All are free to join us for our worship services where we strive to be the encouragement that people need in our present society.  Through our in-depth Bible teaching, people are better able to understand the heart of God and the depth and breadth of His immeasurable love for them.

Recognizing that The Salvation Army is an international movement whose work is localized, we believe that through our support to community, lives are enriched.  The Salvation Army is ready to serve when need is a neighbor away, whether it be through local disaster or through our emergency housing and food programs.  The Salvation Army is ready to serve when need is a neighbor away and children need residential or summer day camp programs.

The founders of The Salvation Army, William & Catherine Booth, believed that we as The Salvation Army should be concerned with "Others" so we continue to serve others:  your neighbors right in Ocean County.  When "Others" are in need, we are there!
