Mission statement:
The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.
Bismarck/Mandan Vision Statement:
Motivated by the love and grace of God, it is our vision to provide a Place of Opportunity and Hope for those in need in the Bismarck/Mandan communities. It is our desire not only to meet the needs of today but to help people build towards a brighter tomorrow.
Through our Social Services Center, we want to give every individual or family facing the threat of hunger or homelessness the opportunity to build and know a life of warmth, comfort and hope.
Through our Prison After Care Programs, we want to give every newly released inmate the opportunity to build a new life full of potential and success.
Through our various youth programs, we want to give every child the opportunity to grow in a safe, encouraging environment.
We realize we cannot help everyone, but with the help of our community, we can offer the opportunity for change to those who are ready to reach out and own that opportunity, and the responsibility that comes with it. Because we believe the true growth potential of Bismarck/Mandan is not found in the opening of new businesses, but in its people reaching out to one another, creating that Place of Opportunity and Hope by Doing the Most Good each and every day!
