Welcome to Kroc Church

"The Lord gives strength to his people;
the Lord blesses his people with peace."
–Psalm 29:11

Congregational Life Officer: [email protected]

We want to welcome you to The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps.

Come join us for our Sunday service at 11am at the Kroc Center Chapel.

We also offer Sunday School classes for the young to young-at-heart, starting at 10:00am.

It is our sincere hope that you find something here which brings you closer to Jesus.  Here at The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps, we think it’s important for men, women, and children to come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and to live daily in a way that honors God the father.

So, it may be the worship, the teaching, the fellowship, or it may be opportunities for service…but if you are interested in making this place your church home, and the people around you, your church family…then there’s a place for you here.  With open hearts we’ll receive you, and together we’ll journey as followers of Christ!

What We Believe

The Salvation Army Doctrines

1. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God and that they only constitute the Divine rule of Christian faith and practice.

2. We believe that there is only one God who is infinitely perfect, the Creator, Preserver, and Governor of all things, and who is the only proper object of religious worship

3. We believe that there are three persons in the Godhead – the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, undivided in essence and co-equal in power and glory.

4. We believe that in the person of Jesus Christ the Divine and human natures are united, so that He is truly and properly God and truly and properly man.

5. We believe that our first parents were created in a state of innocency, but by their disobedience they lost their purity and happiness, and that in consequence of their fall all men have become sinners, totally depraved, and as such are justly exposed to the wrath of God.

6. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has by His suffering and death made atonement for the whole world so that whosoever will may be saved.

7. We believe that repentance towards God, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit, are necessary to salvation.

8. We believe that we are justified by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and that he that believeth hath the witness in himself.

9. We believe that continuance in a state of salvation depends upon continued obedient faith in Christ.

10. We believe that it is the privilege of all believers to be wholly sanctified, and that their whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

11. We believe in the immortality of the soul; in the resurrection of the body; in the general judgment at the end of the world; in the eternal happiness of the righteous; and in the endless punishment of the wicked.

The Salvation Army’s eleven articles of faith reflect our determination to remain faithful to our standards and principles. All members of The Salvation Army are encouraged to review these principles from time to time and to reaffirm before God their dedication to Him and to His good works.

YOUTH PROGRAMS

The Salvation Army offers these programs with open arms to all those who wish to participate and have their parents or guardians permission to attend.

SUNBEAMS

Wednesdays – 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm

The Sunbeam program emphasizes the importance of young girls to growing spiritually, mentally, physically and socially. Sunbeam members do this through fun activities, field trips, camps, service projects, earning activity emblems and much more! Girls are given a refuge- a place to be themselves, have fun deepen their relationship with God, gain self-confidence and discover how they can make a difference in the world.

 

ADVENTURE CORPS

Wednesdays 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Age: Boys grades 1st—12th

In Adventure Corps, boys are encouraged to get out and explore the world around them and discover ways of serving God and others. By participating in a variety of activities including hiking, camping, fishing, investigating museums, visiting nursing homes and learning Bible verses, young men learn to overcome physical, mental, and social challenges to grow into responsible adults.

 

MOONBEAMS

Children have the opportunity to learn and experience life in a unique way. Through music, dance, crafts and playing pretend, children are encouraged to express themselves.  The Moonbeam curriculum builds character and a sense of personal identity all while in a safe environment.

Girls in middle and high school are given the opportunity to join Girl Guards, a program with a four fold emphasis addressing their spiritual, physical, mental and social needs. Skill-development, personal growth and community service opportunities let girls learn to work together (and independently) in various environments. They are also encouraged to think seriously about career and life-style choices as they move into adulthood.

 

CORPS CADETS

Wednesday Nights: 5:30 pm
Age: 13 – 18

A Corps Cadet is not just a member of a youth group or Sunday School class. Although they are active in both of these groups, a Corps Cadet, is a Soldier (member) between the ages of 12-18 years old who has taken up a training role within his or her Corps. This program uses the five year discipleship curriculum, Cross-Training. The overall goal is to prepare them for a life long commitment to spiritual growth through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and find ways to serve in The Salvation Army.

 

JUNIOR SOLDIERS

Not currently offered
Age: 5-13

Junior Soldiers are our future. The key to the future of The Salvation Army is in how are Young People are trained. Their conversion and their preparation for being a soldier (a member) should only be the beginning of a quality training experience. The result of this training experience will be a lifetime commitment to God and The Salvation Army.

 

ADULT PROGRAMS

SUNDAY SCHOOL

We are a multicultural church where all people are encouraged, equipped, and engaged to take the next step on their spiritual journey with God.
